Cooler System

Chiller is a machine that removes heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. It contributes Meisn reduce and stabilize the temperature of water in an aquarium in accordance with the needs of the organisms in it. Temperature suitable to the needs of marine organisms require water temperature 25-26 degrees Celsius, while the freshwater organisms and plants needs a stable temperature of 27-28 degrees Celsius all the time. Broadly speaking, the condition of low temperature water further facilitates oxigen dissolution into water compared with higher temperatures.

Lighting System

Lighting in the area of the aquarium is very varied. Some hobbyist / professional use VHO (Very High Output) fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent lamps, and lamp Metal Hilide because it provides more light than the average bright neon lights and come in a variety of spectrum. For the reef aquarium maintenance required light range of the spectrum. Because many corals require blue actinic light, the light spectrum needed for breeding, many hobbyist gives additional white light with bright colors. And for the moment type of lamp T5 High Output fluorescent lamp is popularly used for the maintenance of coral. These lamps are thinner than usual and T8 lamps provide light far brighter and stronger. Other light sources in the reef aquarium today is Hilide Metal lamp. This high-powered lights create a glittering effect such a bright tropical sun. Light bulbs come in a variety of Metal Hilide spectrum from 5000-20.000K and allows for various types of coral reefs that live either above or dasra aquarium waters.

Hang On Filter

These types of filters which have started to use the freshwater ornamental fish hobbyist as well as sea water, but not so popular, many brands and types that we can adjust the volume of the tank. But unfortunately the type of tank that can use this filter is still limited to an artificial aquarium plant because mempuyai upper frame measuring 3 to 5cm, while the handmade aquarium can also use this filter frame from the amplifier which is usually also made of glass or a maximum of 5cm can also use materials Tempered glass so it does not require a frame anymore. It is recommended to perform appropriate calculations before building the aquarium without a frame.

Canister Filter

As the name implies this one form of filter is essentially a closed tube, and has a channel or a channel with varying amounts ranging from 2 to 3 channel whose functions include the Inlet, Outlet, and Drain. But there are also products canister filter that uses 2 Inlet and 1 Outlet. Because the condition of water or filter media in a closed tube and allow the pressurized condition is very good for breeding bacteria decomposers. The downside of this type of filter is the event of power outages in a long time can lead to bacterial decomposition of dead and cause a bad odor and not infrequently even pollute existing water tank on diplay. Suggestions do wash filter media in water flowing through a rough dirt disappear (no need to use cleaning materials / soap) and then give the starter bacteria on filter media and then turn it back.

Heater

As we know that fish from tropical and subtropical regions are not at all feel comfortable at room temperature is comfortable for us. That is why the constant water temperature is very important for fish, with that kind of need a tool that serves as a heated aquarium water temperature or called heater provides the solution. Unfortunately, these tools are not so necessary in our country which has tropical climate (likely thermal) except for certain fish species that require stable temperature between 28-30 degrees Celsius or for negobatan for diseased fish.
