Time doing your - we look forward to the development of beneficial bacteria in the aquarium until it matures.
Now you need to allow for adequate development of biological aquarium that is, it must see, must be well develop the necessary bacteria that allow the generation of appropriate biological balance. To start with you take from a friend aquarist with a healthy aquarium, a small amount of substrate, water with useful bacteria nitryfikacyjnymi that we add to its fresh aquarium. It takes about three weeks to make the whole colonies of bacteria well settled in the aquarium and correspondingly multiplied before introducing the fish into the tank. Our water must begin to live !!!
What you still need to pay attention to?
The oxygen in the water.
We should also pay attention to the right amount of oxygen in the water. The higher the temperature, the less dissolved oxygen is. The oxygenation of water also influence the porous rock through which air is pumped and a corresponding amount of product in the tank. The solubility of gases in water will depend primarily on factors such as temperature and pressure. The increase in temperature causes a decrease of the dissolved gas in water.
The aquarium keep tropical fish, so the temperature varies from 24 to 28 ° C, which affects the content of oxygen and carbon dioxide in water. You should know that the water enriched in oxygen photosynthesis, but be aware that plants produce oxygen only during the day. In contrast, oxygen-consuming processes of living organisms are breathing in this plant and the distribution of organic matter.
The aquarium adequate water quality plays the most important role. Water quality is an appropriate hardness and pH because it tells us whether the aquarium water is alkaline, acidic or neutral can be measured using special tests available in aquarium shops.
How to get the required pH of our water?
►The chemical composition of water varies depending on what we want to breed fish and plants. Each species has its śrowiskowe requirements and should pay attention especially when arranging multi-species aquarium.
►Neutral is obtained when the pH is 7. The indicator below the neutral and acidic water is above the base.
►The pH of water in our tank should be close to the natural environment of fish living there.
►At the beginning of the formation of the aquarium it is often necessary to examine water by means of tests aquarium. If the pH is too high for our fish, we can reduce it by means of formulations or in a natural way by soaking in water alder cones, bark oak, oak leaves, fern roots.
►When the pH is too low can be increased by using formulas or add sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Changing the pH of water is best done in an aquarium without fish and plants. | exchange pH should not be rapid, but gradually intervals.
How to get adequate hardness of the water?
►Water hardness is determined. The German degrees. The water hardness can be measured using a test special aquarium.
0 - 5n – very soft water
5,1 – 10n – soft water
10,1 – 20n – medium-hard
20,1 – 30n – hard
powyżej 30n – very hard
►When the hardness of our water is too high, we can reduce giving to the aquarium distilled water, boiling water, filter the water through peat, or using special chemical preparations.
►When the water hardness is too low can be increased by adding the harder the water, filter the water through gravel and sand, grit, coral or use chemical preparations. You can also add calcium or magnesium sulphate, but this council already experienced aquarists.
When our aquarium matures and water parameters and temperature are no longer adequate, then the plants are planted after a few days let in only fish.
