Question:

The difference between an air pump and an aerator used in a fish tank

The water sprite I used in the fish tank, they need to connect the air pump, but I have an aerator, I wonder if I can use it What's the difference between the two of them?

Answer:

The difference between air pump and aerator is that water depth is used by air pump and shallow water aerator, and its function is the same.The aerator is a driving component of a motor or a diesel engine through the air system, "oxygen" quickly transferred to the aquaculture equipment, it can be integrated with physical, chemical and biological functions, can not only solve the pond because hypoxia caused the fish floating head, but also can eliminate the harmful gas exchange, promote the convection of the water, improve water quality, reduce feed coefficient, improve fish activity and primary productivity, thereby increasing stocking density, increase the intensity of feeding, breeding objects to promote growth, the yield is greatly improved, fully achieve the purpose of increasing farming.Product type aerator is more also, its characteristics and working principle are different, the oxygenation effect difference, the scope is not the same, producers can according to the needs of the dissolved oxygen in different breeding systems, selection of aerator suitable to obtain good economic performance.
The same function, the difference lies in power.. remember to go to the pipe before the experiment, it is best to have a fine-tuning valve, too much gas, fairy noise scare you...
What you say is a kind of thingBefore you ask this question, try the small column that allows you to connect the air pump to the water sprite with no hose
The same thing, the name is not the same, are the air through the pump into the water, in order to increase the water in the air contact surface, and to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water
