The side filter fish tank is generally very difficult to suck the feces, because its suction is relatively small. If you want to suck the feces away, you can put a wave machine in the tank, which can drive the water flow. However, whether the feces can be sucked away is not important for filtration, because whether it is decomposed in the fish tank or in the filter tank, the impact on water quality is the same, as long as the nitrification system has been established.
1. Establish a nitrification system: If there is too much feces in the fish tank, it will produce a large amount of ammonia nitrogen after being decomposed, which will be toxic to the fish. If you want to solve this problem, you need to establish a good nitrification system. Nitrifying bacteria should be added regularly, and attention should be paid to turning off the light to explode oxygen, so that it can multiply in large numbers. Nitrifying bacteria can convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate, which is very helpful for the health of fish.
2. Water change and cleaning: In addition to the establishment of a nitrification system, you can also clean up the feces when changing the water. The cleaning method is also very simple, as long as the water is pumped out from the bottom, the dirt will be discharged together. In addition, when pouring new water, do not be too fierce, it is better to pour it slowly, so as not to cause water temperature fluctuations.
3. Reduce feeding: Too much feces is mainly due to too much feeding. In this case, what needs to be done is to reduce feeding. Usually, feeding needs to be done in small amounts and many times. Less feeding means less feces.
