The newly opened tank water turns white, indicating that the water is not well kept. There may be many reasons for not keeping well, but the result is one, that is, a large number of microorganisms multiply, resulting in white water. If we want to stop this, we have to start at the source, and the microbes need to break down the organic matter, which is the bait we feed, so stop feeding at this time, and if possible, clean up the bottom of the bait and fish.
In addition to excessive microorganisms, the lack of a nitrification system is another reason for the whitening of the water body. Therefore, after reducing the feeding, it is necessary to add a proper amount of nitrifying bacteria to the water. The tank is actually a small ecosystem, where microorganisms help clean up residual organic matter, but decompose ammonia, a substance harmful to fish, so nitrifying bacteria are needed to help break down it.
Adding nitrifying bacteria is only the first step in establishing a nitrification system. If it cannot rapidly multiply to a certain number, it still cannot solve the negative effect of excessive production of microorganisms. At this time, it is necessary to turn off the light explosion oxygen, the purpose of turning off the light is to prevent ultraviolet radiation from causing damage to it, and it itself belongs to aerobic bacteria, explosion oxygen can accelerate reproduction, faster establishment of nitrification system.
Enhanced filtration can reduce the number of microorganisms and organic matter, thus making the water clear. Some people worry that the filtration system will filter out nitrifying bacteria, but it is not necessary. Nitrifying bacteria must be attached to other objects to be effective, if floating in water is useless, so filtration will not bring side effects.
