Nitrifying bacteria capsule can be opened or not, because the capsule will naturally dissolve, but if opened, it can accelerate the establishment of nitrifying bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria are essential beneficial bacteria in the fish tank, when the organic matter in the fish tank is decomposed by microorganisms, a large number of ammonia nitrogen will be produced, ammonia nitrogen has a certain toxicity to fish, and nitrifying bacteria can convert it into nitrite first, and then into nitrate, so that it will not cause harm to fish.
1. Put in bacteria: The first step in setting up a nitrification system is to put nitrifying bacteria into a fish tank. You can pour them directly into the water. If you have a filter, you can also pour them into a bacteria box. It should be noted that the nitrification system must be carried out in the tank with good water, if the tank is not opened well, it is meaningless to cultivate bacteria.
2. Adding organic matter: The function of nitrifying bacteria is to transform ammonia nitrogen, but ammonia nitrogen does not need to be added to the fish tank. As long as a little organic matter is added, such as fish food or shrimp segments, when they are decomposed by heterotrophic bacteria, a large amount of ammonia nitrogen will be produced. At this time, the water will have a certain odor, and at the same time, the whole water will become turbid.
3. Turn off the light to explode oxygen: Next, it is necessary to see the nitrifying bacteria play a role. They will convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate. In order to accelerate this process, it is best to turn off the light to explode oxygen, because this bacterium does not like visible light, and belongs to aerobic bacteria. After turning off the light and exploding oxygen, it will grow and reproduce rapidly. In this way, the nitrification system is established and completed.
