pump for a 1.2-meter fish tank? A 10-watt oxygen pump is more suitable for a 1.2-meter fish tank, and the minimum power is 5 watts. The main function of the oxygen pump in the fish tank is to oxygenate and improve the dissolved oxygen in the water. Fish live in the water, and their breathing is also in the water. The oxygen content in the water is particularly important for their health. If the dissolved oxygen is too low, the fish may float because of lack of oxygen, and even threaten its life for a long time.
the oxygen pump 1. Daily: The oxygen pump needs to be opened at ordinary times, preferably all day, so as to prevent the occurrence of hypoxia. If you feel that it is too expensive to drive all the time, you can also drive in stages, about two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. If the weather is rainy or the temperature is high, it is necessary to extend the opening time.
2, open the tank: the first fish needs to open the tank, open the tank in the process of water also need to use the oxygen pump. On the one hand, oxygenation can improve water quality, on the other hand, it can also promote the reproduction of nitrifying bacteria, because nitrifying bacteria belong to aerobic bacteria, and their growth can not be separated from sufficient oxygen.
3. Sickness: When a fish is sick, it needs to turn on the oxygen pump in order to make it recover as soon as possible. Sufficient oxygen can promote the metabolism of fish and accelerate the discharge of harmful substances. Moreover, when the fish is given medicine, the medicine will also consume oxygen, so it needs to be supplemented.
