The new fish tank is not disinfected directly to raise water is also possible, but it is not recommended to do so, disinfection will be safer. Usually, if the fish can not be kept alive because of the lack of disinfection, it is necessary to turn over the jar and disinfect it again, which can be said that the loss outweighs the gain. There are many ways to disinfect, but potassium permanganate is usually used, which is a common disinfectant. It is poured into a jar after being mixed into a solution and soaked for 3-4 hours.
1, trapped water: the first step of raising water is trapped water. Because the water usually used for fish farming is tap water, although this kind of water is not polluted after disinfection, but there will be residual chlorine in the disinfection process, so it will have a certain impact on the health of fish, trapped water is to put it in the sun to dry, thus playing the role of chlorine removal.
2. Bacteria culture: The second step of water culture is bacteria culture. Nitrifying bacteria, which are essential beneficial bacteria in fish tanks, can convert ammonia nitrogen in water into nitrate, thus avoiding harm to the health of fish. To cultivate bacteria, we need to pour nitrifying bacteria into the jar, and then turn off the light to explode oxygen.
3. Oxygen explosion: The third step of water conservation is oxygen explosion. The purpose of oxygen explosion is naturally to improve the dissolved oxygen in the water body. When the oxygen content is high, the fish can breathe smoothly and their health is guaranteed. It can also promote the reproduction of nitrifying bacteria.
