A Filtration Network in Planet Zoo 2 connects water bodies to filtration supply. Aquariums connect through the Aquarium Staff Gate node; natural habitat water uses a Water Pump. Network salinity affects every connected water body, and supply must exceed demand.

Planet Zoo 2 aquarium water enclosure with management interface visible — Each aquarium needs the correct network connection and animal-specific water conditions.

Shared salinity is the planning boundary

Read the species’ Zoopedia salinity requirement before changing the network. Separate networks are a practical way to keep incompatible needs apart, because changing a connected network affects all its water bodies. This is an organizational recommendation based on the shared-setting mechanism, not an additional game rule.

Temperature is a separate check

With a powered Aquarium Staff Gate, use the aquarium’s Environment tab for temperature. A working filtration connection does not establish that temperature or salinity suits every animal.

Build and connect an aquarium for the sequence, maintenance checks and safe draining boundary.
