Recommended aquarium volume
The volume of the aquarium in liters, which will ensure the proper performance of the device. This parameter is usually indicated approximately, because it is important to take into account other factors: the degree of population of the monastery for underwater inhabitants, the size of the fish, the fauna of the aquarium, etc.
Outputs
The outlet (channel) is represented by a hose through which the compressor pumps air into the aquarium. The ordinary in-line compressor is equipped with a single-channel air duct design. But there are models for 2, 3 or more channels. The quality of aquarium maintenance depends on the number of channels. If for a small aquarium with a bottom area of 0.3 – 0.5 m², an ordinary single-channel compressor is usually enough, then for larger aquariums, with a bottom from 0.7 – 1 m² and above, at least 2 channels are needed.
Power consumption
The compressor performance directly depends on the power consumption.
