Can you grow nitrifying bacteria by putting used biochemical cotton in a fish tank?

You can put the skinless shrimp meat on top of the biochemical cotton, and if the shrimp meat is still there the next day, it will not be successfully cultivated, if it is not there, the cultivation is successful, or it is recommended to use a ceramic ring, which can be directly used to cultivate nitrifying bacteria.

Here's an introduction to nitrifying bacteria:

It is an aerobic bacterium that can grow in oxygenated water or gravel, and plays an important role in the nitrogen cycle water purification process. It belongs to the class of absolutely autoactive microorganisms, including two completely different metabolic groups. It is suitable for all kinds of sea and fresh water quality treatment assistance.

Without nitrifying bacteria in an aquarium, there is bound to be a danger of a surge in ammonia levels, and no method or aquarium product will solve this problem completely. When the concentration of ammonia in the water reaches the lethal concentration of aquariums, the result is likely to be the same for any aquarium – death, and you will feel guilty. However, if the water contains a sufficient number of nitrifying bacteria to continuously remove ammonia from the water, the stability of the entire aquarium ecological balance system will be ensured and the aquarium organisms will live safely in the aquarium.

Nitrifying bacteria are not very useful, and can only convert ammonia-containing substances with no visible effect with the naked eye.

However, nitrifying bacteria can be added to the **, bottom sand, filter cotton is the best.

As for the culture, use the skinless shrimp meat and put it on your biochemical cotton, and see if there is any left the next day? If there were, there would be no bacteria.

Otherwise, it was a success.

It is recommended to use ceramics to ring better. . .

No.

Changing the filter cotton does not necessarily have to add nitrifying bacteria.

There are indeed a lot of nitrifying bacteria on the filter cotton, and replacing it will also lead to the ecological balance in the tank.

It is broken, but as long as there is filter media such as a bacterial house in the tank, the nitrifying bacteria are still there, and they will soon regain their numbers, and there is no need to start the culture again. It should be noted that when changing the filter foam, do not wash or replace the biological filter media.

The range of filter cotton is relatively wide, and the filter cotton (filter screen) generally refers to air filtration. According to the different materials, the filter material is divided into four types: synthetic fiber filter cotton, non-woven filter cotton, and glass fiber.

Filter cotton, activated carbon filter cotton.

Production process. After opening, mixing, and combing, it is evenly formed into a net, and then it is hot-melted and cooled into a sheet or packaged. Then after finishing (such as gluing, laminating with cloth (net), etc.), and finally drying and shaping the air filter cotton, also called hot air.

Cotton. Ability to resist the effects of chemicals such as chemical solvents, acidic fumes, etc.; The incremental structure, using the gradual encryption multi-layer technology, can be blocked at different density levels according to the size of the dust, and more dust can be more effectively accommodated; It has the characteristics of high dust holding capacity and low resistance, and can be used many times after vacuuming or cleaning.

Most of the nitrifying bacteria in the fish tank exist on the filter cotton and filter material, and there are also a small number of nitrifying bacteria attached to the fish tank water, if you only have filter cotton in your filter cartridge, then the power will be lost after replacing it with a new nitrifying bacteria, solution: the filter box is first laid with filter material (bacterial house, ceramic ring, biochemical ball, etc.), and then the filter cotton is laid, and the appropriate amount of nitrifying bacteria is put on the filter cotton to help the fish tank quickly establish or restore the nitrification system. Another way is to leave a little bit of the old filter and the new filter together to help the nitrifying bacteria transfer.

Nitrifying bacteria are recommended to be added to the filter cotton, and when the nitrification environment is successfully established, observe the clarity of the water, and it can be found that the water quality can remain clear for a long time. If you are not sure whether the culture has been successful, you can use a test strip to test, and if you can show the value of nitrate, it means that the nitrification environment has been successfully established.

If you want to confirm whether the nitrification environment has been successfully established, you can look at the clarity of the water, when the water can remain clear for a long time, it means that the nitrification environment has been successfully established, and you can also choose to put fish in the tank to test the water quality.

If novices can't confirm whether the coarse keystick has successfully established a nitrification environment, it is best to use a test strip to test the water quality, and the test strip shows the nitrate value, which means that the nitrification environment has been established and nothing can be measured, or only nitrite is measured, which means that it has not been established.

It takes about 3 weeks for the fish tank to cultivate the nitrification environment, so it needs to continue to explode oxygen to promote the establishment of the nitrification environment.

Fish tank nitrifying bacteria culture method:

1. Nitrifying bacteria are a kind of aerobic organisms in biological slippery science, that is, they can survive under aerobic conditions, can purify water quality, and are usually available on the Internet, which is not expensive.

2. When starting to raise fish, a process of raising water, said to be raising water, in fact, this resistance is also a process of cultivating nitrifying bacteria, nitrifying bacteria culture generally has to take about two weeks, if you want to accelerate the development of digestive bacteria, you can put some dead fish, these substances will speed up the development of nitrifying bacteria, you can also put some fish in the tank after a few days of water raising, so that nitrifying bacteria can also be established.

3. Let the bacteria house be cultivated. Nitrifying bacteria are generally mainly distributed on the filter material, with some bacterial houses in use, these filter materials are rich in nitrifying bacterial colonies.

4. Basically, even if the nitrifying bacteria are successfully cultivated, generally more than a week of forests need to pump out one-third of the water after spring, and then add one-third of the nitrifying bacteria after adding new water, and the water quality is still very clear.
