A clean, healthy aquarium water is the major concern of any fish lover, and the quality of filtration system is the key to success in this case. After becoming a fishkeeper, I soon understood that it was the aquarium filter that largely affects the condition of the water, the health of the fish, and the condition of the fish tank, in general. Out of all the brands which I did research, I can say that SOBO filters were superior in terms of engineering, innovative design and performance. Understanding the importance of SOBO fish tank filters made me ensure that my aquatic environment emerges healthy and my fish keeping experience proved to be a great one. SOBO is a mature enterprise belonging to Zhongshan SOBO Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. which led the aquarium industry since 2005. Hosting one of the most competitive research and development centers, SOBO imagines, produces, and markets a broad range of aquarium products such as aquariums, underwater pumps, aeration pumps, heater, UV sterilization, filter media, and scrubbers. The support of quality and innovation by the company can be seen in its products that are highly accepted in over 50 countries where I made a purchase of my equipment in Malaysia. The most outstanding thing about the SOBO filters is that the filters have a double filtration mechanism that isolates dry and wet areas within the filter housing. Such design comes with good mechanical, as well as biological filtration by enabling the water to be passed easily through various filter media without clogging up. The dry trunk helps maintain the mechanical media dry so that to collect the larger waste and the wet chamber operates some beneficial bacteria destroying the harmful ammonia and nitrites. This separation would maximize the efficiency of filtration and produce clearer and healthier water to my aquarium. SOBO filters have a gentle flow of water which is one of the reasons why I selected them. As opposed to other types of filters that generate intense current that is dangerous to fish, the filters provided by SOBO generate a gentle flowing of water that does not upset fish by agitating the water conditions. This does not only make the environment natural and comfortable but also minimizes the chances of causing injury or exhaustion to the fish. Having my fish move peacefully in the well circulated water has not been unfruitful and a good indication that the filtration system is very much needed in their requirements. The structure of the SOBO filters and SOBO aquariums was an also important part in my acquisition. Solid wood with multi layers used in the tanks are made of wood cabinets and ultra clear automotive grade glass which is imported in Germany. Sealing of the glass is done using high quality Wacker silicon sealant that will provide durability in the glass hence leak free during active years. The fact that the equipment is durable made my task simple considering that aquarium maintenance is already a tedious pursuit. SOBO provides filters of a range of sizes and of various types suitable to match classes of tank volumes and arrangements. Depending on whether you need the small beginner tank or large and heavily stocked aquarium, SOBO has them all. Having easy install and service on their internal and external filters was a feature that I liked especially since I am a novice. The filter media can be changed or cleaned in a short length of time, so the maintenance of normal maintenance is not time-consuming and efficient. In additional to mechanical and biological filtration, SOBO filters usually have UV sterilization possibilities. UV sterilizers are devices that kill a layer of bacteria, algae spores, and parasites suspended in the water using ultraviolet light hence giving a secondary form of water purification. I have witnessed a huge decrease in algae infestations and illnesses in my tank due to the use of this technology and this has seen my fish remain healthy with fewer water changes. The other benefit of using the SOBO products is that there is extensive after sales services including spares. The international presence of SOBO is considerable so it is not a problem to find replacement parts or accessories since there are local distributors in Malaysia. This feasibility minimizes the loss of time that may be required to carry out repair and maintenance practices that would keep the aquarium at constant conditions. Practically, the variation that the SOBO filters brought about was evident after a few days of the installation. My fish showed more vivid colors and cheerful actions, and the water got visibly clear. The even distribution of water and constant parameters also promoted less stress that enhanced the health and life of fish. I consider the silent nature of the filter as an added advantage since it did not create any interference to the peaceful atmosphere I desired in my house. Using the SOBO filters strengthened my opinion in choosing top-quality devices that consider the well-being of the fish. Clear water is not only a form of beauty in aquarium keeping as it is indicative of the well being of the entire eco-system. Correct filtration also eliminates any waste and stimulates the growth of positive bacteria and maintains water chemistry, all factors that lead to positive aquarium.

The process of determining the most fitting aquarium size in my house was challenging but cheerful and, above all, when I came face to face with a world of extraordinary aquariums at SOBO, I made the most exciting discoveries. Being a hobbiest who wants to have a beautiful and healthy aquatic specimen, I was aware that to have a pet fish, a proper aquarium is more to picking a tank that fits my room. It needed to be made of quality, but with practicality and good looks to improve my living space as well as the quality of my fish. Zhongshan SOBO Electric Appliance Co., LTD. is a famous company that produces the famous brand SOBO that entailed all categories of factors as a leader in the industry and the durability and innovativeness of possible aquarium solutions that would match the needs of the modern hobbyist like me. Hearing about the name of the company SOBO aquariums, I was thinking that the company was really good and innovative. SOBO was founded in 2005, and after a short period of growth, it has become a nationwide high-tech company famous by its wide-ranging research and development chains. The company has an enormous amount of space to produce more than 50,000 square meters with a committed workforce of 500 personnel, which makes it clear in terms of its quality and customer satisfaction. The understanding that the brand has immense investment in technology and expertise made me sure that I am looking at a product that enjoys good engineering and has good support network. The reason I was really interested in SOBO was its wide variety of aquarium materials. Their products are not limited to just high quality aquarium tanks but also contain submersible pumps, air pumps, filters, heater, UV antibacterial units, filter media and cleaners. This implied that I was able to fit my fish tank with compatible accessories that work together and make the maintenance very easy and support the aquatic environment. The reassurance that SOBO products enjoy in more than 50 countries, one of them being the country where-I-live, Afghanistan (Malaysia), confirmed me that it is a global standard product and is readily available. The construction of SOBO aquariums is one of the most note-worthy features of them. The tanks are made up of a waterproof board design coupled with multi-layer hard wood and this is robust and durable. Of course, the other highlight is the ultra-white automotive-grade glass that has been imported in Germany and can go places anywhere in my home with the elegance that it carries. The most impressive thing about it is that it is done on behalf of a flawless and watertight seal using Germany Wacker silicon sealant. Such precision was an indication that the SOBO aquariums are well constructed hence eliminating issues of spillage or disintegration overtime. Size wise, the available tanks are many to accommodate various spaces and requirements available in SOBO. In the case of my home, space was an important factor; I did not want an aquarium which was too big to be able to have a healthy thriving aquatic ecosystem but also one that was too small that it took up too much space and dominated the room. The size of SOBO could be selected easily since it was available in many sizes to fit these requirements. They have varieties of dimensions in their tanks which will enable me to select a tank that will maximize the beauty and at the same time fits well in my living space. Other than size and construction, the filtration system in SOBO aquariums attracted my attention. Their new system of dual filtrations comprises a dry and wet zone which not only makes the water clean and clear. The system produces a soft flow of water, which not only looks good, but is necessary to get the water oxygenated and keep the fish and other plants living. Its independent drainage capability is especially handy, and cleaning and maintenance are quite less of a task. All these qualities exhibited the fact that SOBO was keen on fusing technology and convenience in terms of an aquarium environment. Another business philosophy I noticed, when planning my aquarium setup, was the interest of SOBO in quality and innovation. The company also operates under the concept of good faith, innovation, quality and provides value to become a well known aquarium company whose name is famous in the domestic and international market. Their readiness to collaborations and cooperation is an indicator of the future-looking approach in terms of the changing needs of hobbyists. In my case, this was buying a product that would be improved and would be supported in the future. My experience when SOBO aquarium was installed in my house was pleasant. The tank was toughly built and setting it up was easy, and the glass sides provided crystal-clear shots of my freshwater wildlife. The size of the unit I chose was large enough to house multiple fish and aquatic plants and I was able to build a beautiful underwater scenery. The filtration system ran smoothly without any disturbance which left the water crystal clear and my fish healthy. The filtration and drainage system was well thought of so it became easy to maintain. Cleaning without having to dismantle all the setup meant wasted time, and no stress to my fish. This ease of use has given me the incentive to follow a regular aquarium cleaning plan, therefore, making my aquarium healthy as well. In the long run, I have been able to value the influence of the appropriate size of the aquarium on the condition of fish. An undersized tank or tank which is overcrowded may bring about stress and predispose to disease. On the contrary, a correctly sized tank provides sufficient room to allow fish to move, produce and exercise natural behaviors. The tank sizes provided by SOBO offer hobbyists the flexibility of the provision of an optimum environment which is critical in having a successful aquarium.

Selecting an ideal tank size to suit my Flowerhorn fish was an important measure that I took towards making my fish healthy and happy. As soon as I ever made the decision of acquiring this beautiful and unique species in my aquarium, I realized that it was all about adequate space. Flowerhorns are big and energetic fish, so being informed about their specifics, I managed to find a tank that will fit their needs and enable them to settle and perform well. At the beginning, I wanted to choose the smaller tank because of the considerations of space and the FL budget, but I conducted research, and I noticed that Flowerhorns could develop pretty large (it was now up to a foot in length), and they needed a lot of opportunity to swim. A small crowded tank would not only limit them in terms of growth but may result into them behaving violently and being stressed. I found out that the recommended tank size of single Flowerhorn should be approximately 75 gallons. This offers sufficient moving about space to the fish, ensures quality of water and lowers territorial tension. Having chosen a bigger tank I also needed to think about the filtration system. Being a sloppy eater, flowerhorns do generate lots of garbage hence a good filter was necessary in order to maintain a clean and healthy water. I bought a strong filter system that is used in a large tank which allowed the water parameters to remain stable and lessen the occurrence of water changes. It was essential to ensure that the quality of water remained high since the water would have resulted in sickness or faded color in the fish. Another important factor I gave very keen consideration was temperature control. Flowerhorns live in warm waters and the temperatures are normally between 78F to 84F (25C to 29C). To ensure this, I put in place a well-tested heater that has a thermostat and check on the water temperature frequently. Stable temperature also increased resilience and promoted the immune system of the fish keeping it fresh and healthy. I was careful about the decorating the tank. My idea was to have such an environment that resembled natural habitat yet enough free space where the Flowerhorn would feel free to swim comfortably. My substrate was selected to be smooth and at no point sharp rocks or accessories that might injure the fish were used. I also ensured that the tank installation was secure because Flowerhorns are curious as well as may engage in digging activities. When my Flowerhorn first came to his new home, I realize how the large tank he was able to walk around and find his territory without strain. Its colors and patterns were in full view and was thrilling to watch the fish show. As it expanded over time, the tank size remained sufficient, which made me feel that I have not made a wrong decision. I also discovered that when the fish has enough space, it is not as aggressive or non-interactive. Flowerhorn can live much more than a decade provided they are well taken care of and therefore getting the right tank is very crucial in the initial stages. It does not only refer to accommodation of their size but their future size growth and their behavior as well. Giving them a tank size that fits will assist in their long and healthy life as these fish are beautiful.
