Hava pompaları
İşte bu şekilde akvaryuma yeteri miktarda oksijen verebilirsiniz
Akvaryum suyunuz su yüzeyindeki oksijeni emer. Su yüzeyindeki hareket ne kadar büyükse, suyunuz o kadar fazla oksijen emebilir. Su bitkileri ayrıca, en azından gün boyunca suyunuzun oksijen içeriğini arttırmaya yardımcı olur. Ancak birçok su bitkisi ile durum geceleri tersine dönebilir, çünkü bitkiler geceleri de oksijen tüketir. Tabii ki yosun için de aynı durum geçerlidir!
Air pumps will help you to increase the oxygen level in the water quickly and easily. This partly happens due to rising air bubbles but more so through water being moved at the surface.

Hava pompası nasıl çalışır?
Hava pompaları are constructed so that membranes with a downstream valve build up air pressure through their back and forth movements. The air then reaches an air stone or an air-driven filter in your aquarium through an air hose. To prevent a water backflow it is useful to integrate a check valve ( JBL ProSilent Safe ). The mounting direction is important here. It is indicated by a small arrow.
Hava pompaları are available in various sizes and some have one or two air outlets which can be adjusted. If you want to connect an air pump with several air stones or other air-driven features, you’ll need an air distributor ( JBL ProSilent Control ). You also can connect several air distributors with each other, but the pump performance needs to be high enough.
Every air pump, not only those from JBL, contain diaphragms to generate the air pressure. These membranes are wearing parts and eventually wear out because the rubber becomes cracked or brittle. But membranes can be replaced very easily! To do this, open the pump after pulling out the plug and pull out the diaphragm. Fiddle in the new membrane and done.
JBL air pumps contain an air filter which filters dirt out of the intake air! This also needs to be replaced after a visual inspection. You will be surprised how much dirt collects in such a filter, even if there is NO smoking in the room! For the JBL ProSilent air pumps, the mini air filters are even available as spare parts for around one euro. However, you can also manage with pressed filter wadding. For smokers (no joke!) a small activated carbon cartridge in the air path is recommended. Cigarette smoke can cause serious problems in the aquarium!
There are an incredible number of different bubble stones that are driven by air pumps, releasing air bubbles into the aquarium. Mostly they are used to increase the oxygen content in the aquarium water. The more they move the water surface, the greater the oxygen enrichment in the water. There is no such thing as too much oxygen! However, a strongly moving water surface also loses a lot of the main plant nutrient CO2 to the air. Therefore, a compromise of a slightly moving water surface instead of a very agitated or absolutely smooth water surface is ideal.
In marine water, wooden air diffusers (usually made of lime wood like JBL Aeras Marin ) or ceramic airstones are the right choice, as they produce extremely fine bubbles that are needed in protein skimmers. In freshwater aquariums, it is more a matter of taste which type of airstone you choose. They can be round like JBL ProSilent Aeras Micro S2 or cylindrical like JBL ProSilent Aeras Micro S3 . If very strong aeration is desired, oblong airstones such as JBL ProSilent Aeras Micro or X JBL Aeras Micro are a good choice.
All airstones have a limited lifespan. In the course of their bubbling life, they become more and more clogged and at some point they only bubble huge bubbles or no longer bubble at all. They need to be replaced then at the latest.
Please always place bubble stones at the bottom or even inside the substrate so that the path of the air bubbles to the water surface is as long as possible.
Su bitkileri ve hava pompaları
Su bitkilerinize CO2 gübre sisteminden karbondioksit vermek istiyorsanız, bir hava pompası takmalı veya gece kullanmalısınız. Bitkiler ayrıca geceleri oksijen tüketir. Bu nedenle, akvaryumda çok sayıda bitki olduğunda, geceleri oksijen eksikliği meydana gelebilir. Gün boyunca bitkileriniz çok fazla oksijen üretir ve hava pompanız su yüzeyindeki hareketler sırasında yine de çok fazla CO2 salgılar. Bu, CO2'nin de atıldığı bir şişe kola sallanmasına benzer bir etkidir.
If you are unsure whether the oxygen content in your aquarium is ideal, you can easily test it with the JBL PROAQUATEST O2 Oksijen testi . The lowest oxygen content always occurs in the morning. If the O2 content is OK in the morning (i.e. above 6 mg/l), it will not drop into critical ranges during the rest of the day and night.
Normally, the slight water surface movement of the filter outflow is enough to supply your aquarium with sufficient oxygen. However, there are situations in which additional aeration can be very useful:
- At high temperatures: the warmer the aquarium water, the less oxygen it can bind! If your water temperature moves towards 30 °C in summer, for example, you should consider cooling (JBL PROTEMP COOLER) and aeration! If the water surface in the aquarium should NOT or CANNOT be moved, it is essential to check the O2 content of the water. When using anti-algae agents and medications, vigorous aeration is often required in the instructions for use. If the aquarium is heavily planted, aeration should be carried out AT NIGHT, as plants consume oxygen in the dark.
