How to open a newly bought fish tank, how to open a new fish tank to raise water

Fish farming is the first to raise water, and there are generally three types of water bodies, the first is surface water, including natural water bodies such as rivers and lakes. The second, groundwater, includes well water. The third type is distilled water, or purified water.

Of these three types of water, pure water is preferred, followed by groundwater, and finally surface water. Why do you say that, here's why:

1.Purified water, we are more common in bottled drinking water. The water is neutral, with a pH of 7 and free of impurities and bacteria. If it is a grass tank to open the tank, Xiaobai can give priority, if the fish tank is too large, the cost is unbearable.

2.Groundwater, more commonly well water, or mineral water. This kind of water is hard and alkaline in the north, and contains more calcium and magnesium ions. In raising some fish that have requirements for the pH and hardness of water quality, it is necessary to consider using water softeners.

3.Surface water. It is best not to use water in rivers and lakes because the natural environment is complex and there are many harmful bacteria and microorganisms. I'm sure most people won't be close to lakes, so let's focus on tap water.

As we all know, fungicides such as bleach are often added to tap water, and some people recommend exposing it to the sun for three days. Personally, I don't recommend doing this, because it's too troublesome, and secondly, the water that has been sun-dried may not have disinfectant residues. I recommend adding tap water directly after the tank is placed, and after a day or two, you will find that there will be a lot of small bubbles attached to the walls of the fish tank.

Then the water pump starts to circulate oxygen, do not add any filter material, and then talk about it after three or two days of circulation.

After sufficient circulation of oxygen, then we need to add filter media to culture nitrifying bacteria. Some people will ask which filtration method is better.

1.The upper filtration is easy to maintain, and the actual occupied fish tank volume is not large. However, the filtration effect is average, and the powerful ones can choose the water storage three-layer drip box to make up for it, of course, the filter barrel is also good, but it is slightly expensive.

2.The bottom filtration effect is good, and large fish tanks will use it. The only inconvenience is the need to have a base cabinet. The bottom filtration inside the fish tank is not recommended to be considered, the first is that the maintenance is inconvenient, and the second is that no matter how you get it, this filtration method will always leave dead ends.

3. .Back filtration, generally found in small fish tanks. Its advantage is that it does not occupy the space outside the tank, but it will occupy the actual volume of the fish tank, and the filtration effect is average.

As for the type of filtering you take, it will vary from person to person. Next, let's talk about the culture of nitrifying bacteria. There are many kinds of nitrifying bacteria, and I don't recommend individuals to cultivate them by themselves.

There are two types of nitrifying bacteria commonly found on the market, the first is wet, including injectable or bottled ones. This nitrifying bacterium is very active, and good quality bacteria will also contain other beneficial bacteria. Don't buy cheap ones, and if you buy them, you're also delaying your efforts.

There is also a dry and powdery form, and this nitrifying bacteria activity is a little worse.

The materials for cultivating nitrifying bacteria are common on the market, such as biochemical cotton, biochemical balls, and biochemical sticks. One of their common characteristics is that they are porous, and the pores are relatively fine. But don't mistake the adsorption of ceramic rings for biochemical rings.

If you want to raise ornamental fish, you should first arrange a home for the ornamental fish. This home is an aquarium! The new aquarium has not been filled with fish or even water, so it is not possible to throw fish directly into it.

The new aquarium did not have a strong nitrification system, and if the fish were raised with water, the water in the tank would soon be broken and the fish would be difficult to feed. Therefore, if you want to raise ornamental fish well, you must lay a good foundation.

If you want to turn the new fish tank into a fish tank that can raise fish, you need to open the tank! The newly bought aquarium is very simple to operate, just pay attention to these points!

The first point: disinfection of new fish tanks.

Newly purchased fish tanks cannot be used directly, because some fish tanks are sold soon after they are made, so there may be some harmful substances to ornamental fish. Therefore, after the new fish tank is in hand, it is necessary to carry out strict cleaning and disinfection work. We can soak the fish tank with potassium permanganate solution for a long time so that the fish tank can be thoroughly disinfected.

Point 2: Rinse and rest.

Because a large amount of potassium permanganate solution is used to disinfect the new fish tank, after the disinfection is completed, a large amount of water is needed to dilute these disinfectants, otherwise it is also harmful to ornamental fish. After repeatedly cleaning the fish tank with water and letting it sit for a while, it is basically ready to use.

The third point: bubble tank.

After the disinfection operation has been carried out, we can install the bottom sand and various equipment, and then add water to soak it for a day to two days. Because new equipment may have some substances that are not good for aquarium fish, soaking for a while can minimize this problem. Moreover, we can check the quality of the fish tank and the condition of various equipment in the process of soaking the tank, and if there is a problem, it is better to replace it in time.

The fourth point: oxygen burst.

After the new fish tank is filled with water, it can burst oxygen all day without interruption, increasing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Filtration and warming equipment can then be turned on to make the overall environment of the aquarium more suitable for aquarium fish. At this time, the chlorine in the aquarium has almost volatilized, and it is ready to put nitrifying bacteria to further establish the nitrification system.

The method of opening the fish tank and the use of filter material.

The fish tank needs to be cleaned first, then potassium permanganate is added for disinfection, and the water is filtered and oxygenated, and the sun is avoided during the period. At the same time, nitrifying bacteria need to be fed, and then the nitrification system is established at a constant temperature of 25. Finally, the key to water farming is to put in the appropriate live bacteria, as well as food, and the fish in the tank, when the fish survive, it means that the water culture is successful.

1. Disinfection and oxygenation of fish tanks

Before the new tank is opened, the fish tank needs to be cleaned and disinfected first, and the appropriate amount of potassium permanganate can be put to brew. Then pour the tap water that has been placed for a few days into the fish tank, and at the same time, it is also necessary to open the filter, and continue to oxygenate the empty tank to quickly cultivate nitrifying bacteria, and pay attention to avoid sunlight during the period.

2. Constant temperature nitrifying bacteria

At this time, it is also necessary to add nitrifying bacteria to the empty tank as soon as possible, and then maintain a constant temperature of about 25, and the nitrification system can be established in two to three days. Second, even if the nitrifying bacteria system is already in place, it will take nearly a month to not clean the filter media.

3. Put in live bacterial food

In order to maintain the water well, it is also necessary to add appropriate live bacteria, and it will generally start operating in about two days. At the same time, in order to ensure that the live bacteria can multiply in large quantities, you can put an appropriate amount of food into the fish tank, or break into the tank. If the fish survive intact, it means that the water cultivation has been successful.

Methods and techniques of fish farming in fish tanks:

When raising fish in the fish tank, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the water quality, water is the core factor of raising fish, when changing the water in the fish tank regularly, we should pay attention to a good method, not only to keep the water quality clean and suitable water temperature, but also to keep the water quality clean and suitable water temperature, the water quality can not fluctuate too much.

When feeding, try to choose the method of eating less and more often, and do not feed too much at one time, otherwise it is easy to overload the filtration system and pollute the water quality, which may lead to the fish getting sick or even dying.

It is also necessary to add light to the fish tank, because not only the plants cannot grow without light, but also the fish. Proper light can kill bacteria in the water, enhance the physique of the fish, and make the body color of the fish more vivid and beautiful.

1.The fish tank is filled with water.

A newly installed fish tank, no matter what kind of fish tank, must be soaked first. At this time, fill it with water first and see if there are any leaks. Soak for about 1 to 2 days, then disinfect and clean.

Whether to disinfect or not, in fact, depends on whether this fish tank has died of sick fish before. If the new fish tank can only be cleaned, and if the second-hand fish tank has died, then it is safer to recommend disinfection and sterilization.

2.Soak and wash the filter material.

It is inevitable that there will be dross on the newly purchased filter media. At this time, the filter residue and debris can be soaked in water, and other decorations in the fish tank can also be soaked and cleaned.

3.Install water pumps, filter materials, and other devices for fish tanks.

At this time, you can install a filter device such as the bottom filter or the top filter of the fish tank. When installing the filtration device, it is necessary to follow the principle of physical filtration and regenerative filtration of the water flow. Physically, it is better to use wet and dry separation, and the water flow should pass completely through the filter cotton, rather than skipping the filter cotton and flowing directly to the biochemical zone.

Otherwise, the filter cotton will not be able to intercept impurities and will clog the biochemical filter media.

4.Add water and oxygen to turn on the heating rod.

After cleaning the fish tank, fill it with water, turn on the heating rod, turn on the oxygen pump, and put the filter material in a suitable place. Although there are no fish in the fish tank, they should be kept as fish. After waiting for about 2 days, almost all of the chlorine will evaporate.

5.Place the fish in the tank to establish nitrifying bacteria.

After the chlorine gas in the water in the tank has evaporated, one or several fish can be placed in the tank to provide food for the nitrifying bacteria. Otherwise, nitrifying bacteria cannot be established. It's better to put some fish that can be eaten, pulled, and relatively strong.

At this time, if you put nitrifying bacteria in it, you can set it up faster. If not, the tank itself has nitrifying bacteria, but the setup time will be a little slower.

Just a few days after entering the aquarium, the digestive system has not yet been established, the water in the aquarium may turn white, and the foam on the surface of the water will not easily disperse. Don't worry, these phenomena will slowly disappear when the nitrifying bacteria are stabilized.

Disinfection: The purpose of disinfection is to avoid some harmful bacteria hidden in the tank, which is not good for the health of the fish, so it is necessary to inject an appropriate amount of water, add potassium permanganate, and soak the inner wall of the fish tank for about an hour. Culture:

After pouring trapped tap water, the filtration and oxygenation equipment needs to be turned on, and the nitrifying bacterial culture is poured in, and the lights are turned off for a period of time. Fishing: For the sake of safety, you should first put some fish to test the water.

1. Disinfection: If you raise fish for the first time, you need to disinfect it first when you open the tank. The purpose of disinfection is to avoid some harmful bacteria hidden in the tank, which is not good for the health of the fish, so it is necessary to inject an appropriate amount of water, add potassium permanganate, and soak the inner wall of the fish tank for about an hour.

You can also wipe it with a cloth dipped in potassium permanganate solution and rinse it with water.

2. Culture: Fish farming should raise water, and the most important thing in water farming is to cultivate bacteria, which is to cultivate nitrifying bacteria. After injecting trapped tap water, it is necessary to turn on the filtration and oxygenation equipment, then pour in the nitrifying bacterial culture, and turn off the lights for a period of time to accelerate its reproduction.

When the water in the tank is muddy and clear, you can prepare to raise the fish.

3. Fishing: For the sake of insurance, you should first put some fish to try the water, usually choose some fish that are easy to raise and cheap, and raise them for one to two weeks before you can pour the fish you want to raise into the tank. If a large number of fish die in the tank, it means that the water body is not good and the tank needs to be reopened to raise water.

The old fish tank also needs to be opened. As long as the fish tank does not raise fish for a long time, the re-raising of fish must be opened, but as long as the old fish tank has not been in contact with dirty things, it can be simply rinsed without disinfection. But water is essential, only when the water is raised, the fish can be raised, otherwise a batch of fish will have to be replaced regularly.

The newly opened fish tank generally waits for three days to release the fish, not enough at this time to put the fish in the tank, the fish in the tank to raise for about half a month, if there is no illness or death, you can put the fish to be raised into the tank, otherwise you need to reopen the tank. To open the tank, first disinfect the fish tank with potassium permanganate, then inject water into it, put nitrifying bacteria in it after a few days of drying, and add a little fish food, and the fish can be released after the water quality is clear.

The fish can be released in three days after the new tank is opened, but the fish released at this time is the fish in the tank, the purpose is to test the water with it first, to ensure that there is no problem with the water body, and if it is suitable for the survival of the fish, then the fish to be raised will be put into the fish tank. The time to test the water is uncertain, but it is best to raise it for about half a month first, and at least a week if it is short.

1. Disinfection: The newly bought fish tank must be disinfected to avoid bacteria in the tank and cause the fish to suffer from diseases. The method of disinfection is very simple, generally soak the inside of the fish tank with potassium permanganate solution, and you can also brush it outside.

After disinfection, it needs to be washed with clean water, so as not to affect the health of the fish.

2. Water raising: After completing the disinfection, it is necessary to put water into the fish tank, and the water will generally be dried for a few days, except for the chlorine inside. After releasing the water, nitrifying bacteria should be added, and a little fish food should be thrown into the water at the same time.

Under normal circumstances, the water in the tank will become turbid and then clear, and the fish food will gradually disappear. In this way, the nitrification system is established.

3. Release fish: The water at this time is already suitable for the survival of fish, but for the sake of insurance, it is best to put a few fish to test the water. Fish that are usually sturdy and suitable for extensive management are usually selected, and as long as they can survive and have no bad signs such as illness, they can be put in the fish.
