Nitrifying bacteria in the filter cotton and filter media in the old fish tank can be generated in t

Adding the filter cotton and filter material from the old fish tank to the new tank can only be said to introduce nitrifying bacteria.

It can be said that there are nitrifying bacteria from the time of addition, but the new tank must have the conditions for the survival of nitrifying bacteria. Different tanks, different water temperature and oxygen content, etc., all directly affect the reproduction rate of nitrifying bacteria. Generally, I think it will take at least half a month.

If you add the filter cotton and filter media from the old fish tank to the new tank, it will take about 7-10 days for nitrifying bacteria to form in the new tank.

Nitrifying bacteria like to live in alkaline water, and the pH range of the water body should be controlled at about 7-8. Under the right temperature conditions (between about 23-28 degrees, especially 25 degrees), nitrifying bacteria multiply rapidly.

In order to make the nitrifying bacteria multiply faster, you can add some ceramic rings to the water, etc., which can provide more attachment to the nitrifying bacteria. At the same time, in order to avoid direct sunlight on the fish tank, especially ultraviolet lamps, it is necessary to place the fish tank in a suitable place for a darker environment. It is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining the oxygen content in the water, nitrifying bacteria are aerobic bacteria, and the amount of dissolved oxygen in water should be kept at about 5-8 mg l.

Once the nitrification system is set up in a new tank, it takes about 20-30 days to stabilize the entire nitrification system. It takes time to set up a nitrification system and stabilize the entire system, during which time it is necessary to be patient and adjust the management measures according to the actual situation.

The filter media does not need to be cleaned as often.

The filter material in the fish tank is mainly divided into physical filter media and biochemical filter filter media, which are generally these two.

To put it bluntly, physical filtration is to precipitate the debris and garbage in the tank on the filter cotton. Now there are magic carpets, magic bags, filter blankets and so on, the reason is the same. As long as you can keep the debris in the water out, you're fine.

The most dirty part of this part of the filter material is the top layer, there is no time limit, and it can be washed when it is dirty (as long as the water permeability is normal, there is no need to wash.) ）。Washing diligently reduces the service life, and it is good to wash it once in 10 days!

The effect of biochemical filtration is to cultivate the nitrifying bacteria in the water and generate a more beneficial nitrification system in the fish tank. Although there are many types, most of them are still mainly ceramic rings, bacterial houses, biochemical balls, biochemical cotton, etc., supplemented by others.

In the case of good physical filtration, the filter material of biochemical filtration basically does not need to be cleaned in a large area, and it can be cleaned once every six months or a year. In order not to wipe out all your nitrifying bacteria at once, of course, it is necessary to clean it in batches, and there is really no specific standard for this, so it is cleaned up in three or four times.

Yes, you can control the quantity, and you need to put a very small amount.

Nitrifying bacteria are a kind of aerobic microbacterium, which will compete for oxygen in the water, and there is an oxygen pump in the fish tank, and a very small amount of it can be put in, but the effect will not be too much, and nitrifying bacteria need to be attached to the carrier;

Filtration systems usually provide a larger area for nitrifying bacteria to live in, although the fish tank has some small stones, the area is still relatively small, and there will be no obvious effect, if the nitrifying bacteria cannot have a carrier, they will float in the water and will not survive for a long time.

It takes 5-7 days to get back to normal.

Nitrobacteria. It can help improve water quality to a certain extent, but the most fundamental role of nitrifying bacteria is to stabilize the ecosystem of the fish tank, or to help establish an ecosystem.

The frequency of high-frequency water exchange can accelerate the water clearing, the frequency is determined according to the degree of turbidity of the water, and it is recommended that the frequency should not exceed once every two days, and the amount of water exchanged each time should not exceed 1 3.

It depends on how turbid the water is. Generally, after the nitrifying bacteria system and wide silver is formed, the water quality will become significantly clearer in one or two days, and the nitrifying bacteria also have periodic feasts, which are completely automatically generated in the tank, and generally need to be carried for half a month to more than 20 days.

First of all, it should be noted that nitrifying bacteria can help improve water quality to a certain extent, but the most fundamental role of nitrifying bacteria is to stabilize the ecosystem of the fish tank, or to help establish an ecosystem. If your goal is to clear water, then it is recommended to use the way of water exchange to solve the void, high frequency of water change can accelerate water clearing, the frequency depends on the degree of turbidity of the water, it is recommended that the frequency is not more than once every two days, and the amount of water exchanged each time is not more than 1 3

Feel free to ask.

It is not recommended to put it, if you insist on putting it, you must control the amount, and you must put a very small amount.

Nitrifying bacteria, is an aerobic bacteria, in the water will compete for oxygen, you have an oxygen pump in your fish tank, a very small amount of it is okay, but the effect will not be too much, nitrifying bacteria need to attach to the carrier, the filtration system usually provides a larger area for nitrifying bacteria to live, although your fish tank has some small stones, the area is still relatively small, there will be no obvious effect, if the nitrifying bacteria can not have a carrier, will float in the water, will not survive for a long time.

Therefore, it is recommended not to put it, if you want to try it, a very small amount can be put, but it will not have obvious effect, if the amount is not well controlled, it is easy to have a negative effect.

It is recommended to do an anti-gas lift, which is the secret of cultivating nitrifying bacteria in one day**, or a good filter material, and it is not expensive to make one.

If you throw the filter media into the fish tank, the nitrifying bacteria attached to the filter media will die. Nitrifying bacteria need sufficient oxygen, the flow of water in the fish tank is too small, and it is impossible to reach the specific oxygen required by nitrifying bacteria. If the above two points are present at the same time, the nitrifying bacteria will die.

Nitrifying bacteria do not break down fish waste; Nitrifying bacteria cannot decompose hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in water, but will be poisoned and killed by hydrogen sulfide in water; Nitrifying bacteria cannot directly oxidize ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3).
