这Penguin Pro power filters from Marineland这是多年来这种新型水族馆过滤器的第一个主要版本。数十年来，Marineland的企鹅和皇帝过滤器一直是水族馆爱好最受欢迎的模型，我们的个人第一个过滤器是尊贵的皇帝400。
挂在权力过滤器的主力aquarium filtration for most freshwater aquarist as well as some saltwater hobbyists, we wanted to take a close look at the changes and improvements Marineland engineered into the new Penguin Pro power filters. While the Penguin filters have experienced a number of superficial and packaging facelifts over the decades, it wasn’t until the new Penguin Pro generation that every aspect of the power filter was redesigned from the ground up.
如果有一件事给Marineland的皇帝和企鹅力量过滤器，那么持久的力量必须是它们的标志性“生物轮”，这是一个旋转的生物接触器。生物轮赋予Marineland的功率过滤器，并在具有很高浓度的表面积的专用物体中以真正的湿干生物过滤授予，从而最大程度地通过重要细菌定植。
企鹅专业过滤器的最大新改进是将动力头组件从过滤器的内部搬迁到外部，悬挂在储罐内以增加过滤器中的空间，但主要是为了消除启动的需求。令我们惊讶的是，Marineland并没有让这个新空间浪费，并使用内置媒体反应堆实施了全新的东西。
这个小室可用于容纳任何类型的化学过滤介质 - 非常适合在纳米礁坦克中使用某些碳或GFO - 但企鹅专业人士的文档倾向于引导用户使用'K2生物学媒体‘这是为了在这个房间内翻滚。随着Pro Generation的企鹅过滤器，Marineland付出了很多努力，使过滤器尽可能安静，考虑到这一点，有很多软橡胶垫圈将泵连接到过滤器，以减少和最大程度地减少振动。
这main filtration volume of the Penguin Pro is familiar to legacy Penguin filter users since it has two slots to hold the Marineland Rite-Size cartridge or their own refillable media cartridge. Some other changes include a hinged lid that covers the entire filter, the spillway has been designed much lower than before, and a completely redesigned intake strainer has a huge surface area to prevent blockage of the water intake.
We’re very impressed with all the new improvements Marineland made to their new Penguin Pro power filters addressing some of the small but longstanding criticism of the legacy models. While power filters are not the first choice of most folks diving into the reefing hobby, this is only a trend and up to personal preference because there’s nothing technically standing in the way of having a thriving saltwater fish using power filters.
We’re really digging the new improvements to the Penguin Pro and we’ll be putting them through their paces on some displays very soon as we look forward to sharing a more in-depth longterm review of Marineland’s new workhorse power filter in the future.
