the dirty bacterial house? The bacterial house does not need to be cleaned. It is a place where nitrifying bacteria are cultured. Cleaning will lead to the death of a large number of nitrifying bacteria, which is very harmful to the overall ecological environment, and even lead to the death of fish. If you have to wash it, you must do it in batches and wash a small part at a time. In addition, the reason why the bacterial house becomes dirty is that the effect of the filter cotton becomes worse, so it is better to wash the bacterial house than to wash the filter cotton.
should we pay attention to when cleaning? 1. Cleaning time: First of all, we should pay attention to the cleaning time when cleaning the bacteria house. Usually, we should wash it once every six months or a year. We should not wash it too frequently. Otherwise, the nitrifying bacteria can not adhere to it, and even the original ecological cycle will be affected. Of course, if the bacteria room is not blocked, it can not be cleaned temporarily.
2. Do not wash completely: The bacteria house cannot be washed completely at one time, because it is difficult to clean the bacteria house without destroying the nitrifying bacteria. If all of them are cleaned, the original nitrification system will be destroyed, and the ammonia nitrogen content will not be converted in time after it increases, which will cause toxicity to fish. So be sure to wash them in batches, a few at a time, and the rest at intervals.
3. Use the original tank water: Do not use new water to clean the nitrifying bacteria, because the nitrifying bacteria can be easily destroyed after contacting the outside water, so it is better to use the original tank water to wash, and do not wash too hard.
