   Periodic removal of the algae that has grown inside of an algae scrubber removes nutrients (ammonia, nitrate, phosphate) from the aquarium water, thus providing the needed filtration. An algae scrubber is a water filtering device which uses light to grow algae; in this process, undesirable chemicals are removed from the water. [1]

3. Aquarium filter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_filter

   Aquarium filters are critical components of both freshwater and marine aquaria. [1] [2] [3] Aquarium filters remove physical and soluble chemical waste products from aquaria, simplifying maintenance.

   A build-up of ammonia in the fish tank leads to ammonia poisoning. Species of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) can break down the ammonia and convert it to other, less toxic, nitrogen products. Two examples of AOB are Nitrosospira and Nitrosomonas. [2] The amount of ammonia present is usually accompanied by a rise in pH. As ammonia is a base ...

   The processed ammonia is converted to nitrite, which is then processed to nitrate. Weekly water changes (25% of aquarium volume), while vacuuming debris from the bottom of the tank, can solve this problem of nitrate build-up, provided the tank is not overcrowded. Build-up of algae is largely related to light level and mineral imbalance.
