How to place the ceramic ring in the fish tank in the most scientific?

Before the invention of the bacterium house, the ceramic ring played a dominant role in the biochemical filtration system of the fish tank. Many old aquarists are still accustomed to using ceramic rings.

The ceramic ring is inexpensive and has good effect, and it is a necessary filter material in the family fish tank.

The function of the ceramic ring is to give nitrifying bacteria.

It provides shelter and at the same time can ensure the smooth flow of water, which is the same as the current bacterial house, so the ceramic ring should be placed in the filter tank, not directly in the fish tank.

In the upper filter tank, the ceramic ring is placed under the filter or biochemical cotton, and in other filtration methods, the ceramic ring is placed in the biochemical filter chamber.

The ceramic ring is actually the home of nitrifying bacteria, it itself has very rich, fine pores, and lovely nitrifying bacteria live and live in it, and they will take the ceramic ring as their home.

Because nitrifying bacteria are aerobic bacteria, they like water to contain a lot of oxygen, and if the dissolved oxygen in the water is reduced to a certain extent, the nitrifying bacteria will not be active and will even die.

So, we want to put the ceramic ring in the place where the flowing water passes through it, so that there is enough dissolved oxygen in the water.

Nitrifying bacteria can live happily.

Nitrifying bacteria. With the help of ceramic rings or bacterial houses, in order to better stabilize the balance of water quality, the filtration of impurities in the fish tank is handed over to the filter cotton and biochemical cotton, in fact, biochemical cotton also plays a certain role in filtration in a sense.

Therefore, the ceramic ring is naturally placed behind or below them, that is to say, we can only rely on the filter cotton to clear all the obstacles for the ceramic ring, and the ceramic ring can play a better biochemical role.

If the first two layers of security work is not done well, it will inevitably lead to too much debris to block the pores of the ceramic ring, and after the blockage, it will cause the nitrifying bacteria to lack oxygen, which will have a catastrophic impact on the nitrifying bacteria.

When buying ceramic rings, we still have to have a choice, because if it is a poor quality ceramic ring will drop slag, so that it will have a great impact on the water quality of the fish tank, we also have to work hard to clean before we can use it again, the quality of the ceramic ring with a hand pinch, it may be broken, in addition to the fish tank in the anti-gas lift will often use the ceramic ring, the truth is consistent with the above principle.

Under normal circumstances, we only need to regularly clean the debris on the filter cotton, such as ceramic rings, bacteria houses and other biochemical filter materials because of the presence of nitrifying bacteria on them, we do not need to clean, even if we want to clean in batches, we can also replace them in batches after a year.

Place a ceramic ring in the fish tank, and try to place it in the corner so as not to affect the fish tank environment.

It is made of ceramics and is fired at high temperature with ceramic clay (kaolin). The ceramic ring is a purely biological enhanced filter material for optimal water quality through optimal biological purification of fresh water and seawater.

The essence of the ceramic ring is porous ceramic, which is one of the earliest forms of ceramic as a filter material to enter the aquarium, and it appeared slightly later than the ceramsite, but earlier than the bacterial house.

The earliest ceramic ring is very similar to the shape of the glass ring that we see now, but it has gradually evolved into many forms by manufacturers and given many inexplicable names, such as the "breathing ring" that we often hear, its essence is the ceramic ring. Today's ceramic rings are divided into "big rings" and "small rings", and in the early days there were no small rings, all of them were in the form of large rings.

It's made of ceramic. It is made by firing ceramic clay (kaolin) at high temperatures.

Ceramic ring introduction.

It is a purely biological enhanced filter material to obtain the best water quality through optimal biological purification of fresh water and seawater.

It can be used for all biological inner filters, outer filters, drop purification filtration systems, as well as garden pond filters.

As a high-efficiency long-lasting filter material, it is also particularly suitable for small biofilters, and biofilter cotton can be used as a pre-filter material to avoid contamination caused by floating debris.

Because the ceramic ring is covered with micropores, it is suitable for the reproduction of nitrifying bacteria and can play a role in purifying water quality.

Features: High efficiency in small filters.

Fast-acting Optimal water quality, whether in freshwater or saltwater aquariums.

Keep fish and plants healthy.

Reduce the frequency of water changes.

Extremely long service life.

It does not decompose and is resistant to seawater corrosion.

Can be used in most filters.

The unique pore structure allows the nitrifying bacteria to live and work in peace.

The ceramic ring is a place for the beneficial bacteria in the aquarium to multiply and grow.

The ceramic ring is relatively small, but it still has a good filtration effect and makes the water cleaner. The ceramic ring is capable of being used as a filtration system for all biological outer filters, inner filters, garden pond filters and drop purification filtration systems.

The main point of using ceramic rings is to put them at the bottom and keep them below the surface of the water. The ceramic ring is topped with a layer of biochemical cotton, and the top layer is filled with filter cotton.

The ceramic ring is usually placed at the bottom of the filter, where the water lasts through. The reason why it is put in this way is because the water flow needs to pass through the physical filtration area and the chemical filtration area to filter out the impurities and dirt in the water, so as not to cause harm to nitrifying bacteria, and also reduce the possibility of causing its blockage. <

1. Bacterial house: the more common substitute for the bacterial house, its ** is higher than the ceramic ring, usually made of talcum powder firing, there are many holes on it, and the surface area is very large, so it is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of a large number of nitrifying bacteria, and the overall shape is also very similar to the ceramic ring.

2. Biochemical ball: The biochemical ball is generally placed in the falling water, so that it can better play its effect, its material is plastic, the shape is mostly spherical, but there are also square or irregular, there are many protrusions on it. It also has certain disadvantages, such as a limited scope of application, and cannot be used in many filtration methods.

3. Biochemical cotton: Biochemical cotton has a lot of pores, good water permeability, and is easy to clean, and can even play a physical filtration effect, so it is also a good substitute. However, it will carry some unnecessary elements in the production process, so it will often affect the water quality when placed in the filter.

Cartridges with around 6 liters of filter media.

1. Of course, the more filter media is placed, the better, and the standard is usually to configure the filter box volume according to one-tenth of the volume of the fish tank; In other words, the volume of the filter box should reach one-tenth of the volume of the fish tank. According to your fish tank, it should be equipped with a filter cartridge that can hold about 6 liters of filter media (about 4-5 kg filter ring).

2. Due to the space limitation of your filter box, as long as the filter box is filled with a glass ring, and three layers of white cotton can be laid on it, the water pumped into the filter box will not overflow the filter box without the filter material.

3. The selection of biochemical filter materials, in order of good or bad filtration effect: ceramic balls, glass rings, ceramic rings, biochemical balls, black biochemical cotton, these are mainly used for weak acidic soft water, as well as coral sand, shell sand and other hard water that can be used for alkaline, in addition, it is best to use ceramic balls and glass rings.

Ceramic rings cannot be placed directly in the fish tank. Nitrobacteria.

It must be in a shady environment to grow and reproduce quickly, directly put into the fish tank, because it will be affected by light, so the nitrification system is established very slowly, and the fish are not well raised, and it is easy to have problems. It is best to place the ceramic ring in a special filter box, and after leaving it in the dark, it also needs sufficient oxygen to promote its growth.

1. Cleaning frequency: we must pay attention to the frequency of cleaning the ceramic ring, some people wash it once every six months, and some wash it once a year, of course, if the ceramic ring is not blocked and other problems, it is okay not to wash it. If the water permeability is poor and cannot be washed, it can also be replaced with a new one.

2. Cleaning in batches: The ceramic ring is generally divided into two to three times to clean all of them, and one of them can be washed each time, and the reason why it cannot be washed all is because the number of nitrifying bacteria will be greatly reduced after all washing, so that the ecosystem of the fish tank.

There will be problems, and it will be bad for the fish.

3. Pay attention to water: the original tank water must be used for cleaning the ceramic ring, and new water cannot be used, otherwise it will also lead to the death of nitrifying bacteria. When cleaning, rinse more often, and be sure not to use too much force, so as to ensure that the nitrification system is not damaged.
