is the method of opening a new tank to raise water? Generally, opening a new tank to raise water is divided into two steps. The first step is to trap water, because the water used for fish farming is tap water, which must be dried to remove chlorine, otherwise it will cause harm to the health of fish. The second step is to cultivate bacteria, which is also the most critical step in water cultivation. Its purpose is to establish a nitrification system, and the ecological cycle is complete only when there are nitrifying bacteria in the water. The method of cultivating bacteria is very simple, usually in the first month of opening the tank, nitrifying bacteria should be poured in every week, and at the same time, the lights should be turned off to explode oxygen.
a new fish tank 1. Disinfection: The first step of opening a new fish tank is disinfection. Although many people do this step, it is not very necessary, because the unused fish tank will not have harmful bacteria, but disinfection is safer. Prepare potassium permanganate, pour it into the jar, add water to make it into purplish red solution, and soak it for 3-4 hours.
2. Bacteria cultivation: Bacteria cultivation is the second step of tank opening. The purpose is to establish a nitrification system. The method has been mentioned above. As for why bacteria cultivation is needed, it is because nitrifying bacteria can absorb ammonia nitrogen in the water body and convert it into nitrate which is harmless to fish. Therefore, the establishment of nitrification system is very necessary.
3. Test the water: In order to ensure that the water in the fish tank is suitable for the growth of the fish, it is necessary to test the water with the fish in the tank. Usually, we will choose some more solid varieties, so that we can see whether there is any problem with the water. After half a month of raising, we can put the fish we really want to raise.
