0:48
filtration this process involves using
0:50
screens brushes or other physical
0:53
barriers to trap and remove Solid Waste
0:55
particles from the water mechanical
0:57
filters come in various forms such as
1:00
skimmers drum filters and Vortex
1:02
settlers these devices work by forcing
1:05
water through fine mesh or other
1:07
materials that capture debris while
1:09
allowing clean water to pass through the
1:12
second method is biological filtration
1:14
this natural process uses beneficial
1:17
bacteria to break down harmful ammonia
1:19
and nitrate produced by fish waste
1:21
biological filters often combine with
1:23
mechanical filters provide a home for
1:26
these bacteria to colonize and process
1:28
waste common types of biological filters
1:31
include moving bed filters trickle
1:33
filters and bead filters regular pond
1:36
maintenance is also crucial for
1:38
Effective waste removal this includes
1:40
routine tasks such as skimming the
1:42
surface for floating debris vacuuming
