? If the bacterial house is not particularly dirty, it generally does not need to be cleaned, and even if it needs to be washed, it must be cleaned in batches, not all at one time. Bacteria house is used to cultivate nitrifying bacteria, if it is washed clean, nitrifying bacteria will be destroyed, so that the ecological cycle of the water body will go wrong, the harm to fish is also great, and even lead to the death of a large number of fish.
should we pay attention to when using the bacterial house? 1. Don't clean it: As mentioned above, the bacterial house can't be cleaned casually, because it will damage the nitrification system and even endanger the fish. Because the nitrifying bacteria are attached to the surface of the bacteria house, it will be washed off quickly with water, which looks clean, but it is not a good thing for the fish tank.
2. Do not replace: In addition to not cleaning, do not replace the bacteria house. Many businesses will advertise regular replacement of the bacteria house, but in fact this is not right, replacement of the bacteria house and cleaning the same effect, will affect the ecological cycle in the tank, not only nitrifying bacteria will disappear, fish will also lose their lives.
3. Place away from light: In order to promote the growth and reproduction of nitrifying bacteria, the bacteria house must be placed away from light, because this kind of bacteria does not like light. Moreover, as aerobic bacteria, it can quickly establish a nitrification system by oxygenation.
