to put the bacteria house in the fish tank? It is also useful to put the bacteria house directly in the fish tank, but the effect is not good. Usually, the bacteria house needs to be placed in the filter bin, because this is a dark environment, which is more conducive to the growth and reproduction of nitrifying bacteria, so as to establish a good ecosystem. In addition to avoiding light, it is also aerobic bacteria, so during the cultivation process, oxygen pumps are needed to maintain oxygenation, which can also establish a nitrification system faster.
1. Water cultivation and filtration: Before establishing a nitrification system, water should be cultivated first. Fish are usually raised with tap water, which needs to be dried to remove chlorine before it can be injected into the tank. In order to ensure the clarity of the water body, it is necessary to open the filter and let the water in the whole tank filter two to three times before the bacteria can be cultured.
2. Pour in the bacteria: Although the nitrification system will be established sooner or later with enough time, there are ways to speed up the process. A proper amount of nitrifying bacteria is poured into the bacteria box, then the water body will become turbid, and then it will return to clear, so that the nitrification system is established.
3. Regular supplement: within one month after the initial establishment of the nitrification system, a little should be added every week. After the establishment is completed, it is generally not necessary to supplement again. Unless the filter material is cleaned and replaced on a large scale, the original nitrification system will be destroyed, so it is necessary to re-cultivate the bacteria.
