Hej!
Jag tänkte börja med akvarie igång och överväger att köpa ett Juwel Lido (120l) men blev lite fundersam vad det gäller Juwels rekommendationer att man ska byta ut dom olika filterdelarna väldigt ofta (se nedan).
Vad gäller? Är det för att man vill sälja mycket filter eller ska man verkligen byta så ofta?
Tack på förhand!

- Replace the white filter wool pad once a week. If you have large fish, then this may
require changing slightly more frequently. This will ensure that the filter sponges will
not be clogged by larger dirt particles.
- Replace the black activated carbon sponge every 4-6 weeks. Again, if you have large
fish then this may be to be more frequent. This ensures that any chemical impurities
from the water will be removed. Please note that the chemicals which are absorbed by
the activated carbon contained in the sponge, will be released to the water again if
the change intervals are too long.
- If the filter wool and the activated carbon sponge are replaced as suggested, then it
is sufficient to carefully clean or replace the coarse blue sponges at 6-12 weeks and
the fine blue sponges at 3-6 months only.
- Cleaning or replacing the blue sponges or the Cirax filter medium affects the impact
of the bacterial culture. For that reason, it is recommended not to clean or replace the
blue sponges and the Cirax filter medium at the same time, but rather successively in
an alternating manner.
- In order to allow a proper level of micro-organisms in the filtration system it is
recommended to exchange the sponge every 6 weeks. The nitrate removal sponge
contains bacteria, which will after a while reduce the nitrate level in the aquarium
significantly.
