Match the filter's rated flow (LPH or GPH) to your tank volume. A common guideline is a filter that cycles the full tank volume roughly 4 or more times per hour. For a heavily stocked tank, choose a filter rated for a slightly larger volume to keep water clear. The OASE CrystalSkim 600 is suitable for tanks up to 160 gallons (600 L). ### What is the difference between mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration in these units?
