It skims off the film residue and constantly brings new layers of water to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film residue is an unsightly film on the water surface of the aquarium Organic material like fats, proteins and waste matter gather here, forming a feeding ground for a host of unwanted microorganisms. The surface is, however, necessary for the essential oxygen exchange between the water and air. A film on the water surface reduces both the rate of diffusion and, on the other hand, the on-going biological surface processes also needed for extra oxygen. Light penetration will also be reduced and consequently plant growth as well as photosynthesis will be compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures a clear water surface, skims off oily film residue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces level of microorganisms on the water surface and contributes to a better oxygen exchange and more light penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstantly brings new layers of water to the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating surface intake mechanism (ca. 2 cm), adjusts to the level of the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic valve control at the bottom inlet, e.g. in case the surface intake becomes blocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistant water intake, guarantees no air intake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShut off of surface outlet e.g. for feeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescopic design for all sizes of aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttachable to all external filters in place of the intake pipe;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor larger EHEIM Filter a T-reduction piece is necessary for connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor filters 2215, 2217, 2226, \u0026amp; 2228 a T-reducing piece is necessary, so that a bypass is created and two inlet lines are used.
