Aquarium Parts and Functions

Floss Pad: White filtration bag that captures particles during water flow, also contains activated carbon for mechanical and chemical filtration.
Activated Carbon: Small black carbon particles that effectively remove chemicals from aquarium water, contributing to chemical filtration.
Sponge Filter: Utilizes a sponge to mechanically filter water by trapping particulates, enhancing water clarity.
Strainer: Located at the tubing's bottom, features small slits to catch larger debris, preventing clogging in the filtration system.

Tubing: Transports water from the tank to the filter box, essential for proper filtration.
Impeller: Spins within the aquarium motor to pump water into the filter box, facilitating continuous water circulation.
Motor: An electric component located in the filter box that drives the impeller; when activated, it pulls water through the siphon tube.

Filter Box: A plastic housing at the back of the aquarium containing the motor, tubing, and filtration media, critical for water treatment.
Aquarium Hood: Made of plastic and glass, it reduces water evaporation and blocks pollutants, maintaining aquarium health.
Filter Box Lid: Protects internal filter components from damage and contamination, enhancing durability.

Aquarium Light: A fluorescent lamp positioned above the hood, illuminates the tank, showcasing fish and decorations.
Decorations: Made from plastic resin, provide aesthetic appeal and hiding spots for fish, improving their habitat.
Aeration Control Knob: Regulates water flow over spillways in the filter box, promoting oxygenation by creating bubbles in the tank.

Spillway: The outlet for water to return from the filter box back into the tank, completing the filtration cycle.
Electric Motor: Powers the impeller for water suction through the siphon tubing into the filter, a vital component for circulation.
Siphon Tubing: Connects the tank to the filter box, enabling water ascent and maintaining the filtration process.
