Fish can cultivate temperament, a tank of fish in the living room, can also decorate and beautify the indoor environment, but need to pay attention to is that if the fish tank is not properly selected, not only do not keep good fish, but also on the indoor environment pollution, and thus affect human health. So, put the fish tank at home, will raise the gas to benefit health. So, how to be called will raise it? And career knowledge to take a look at it.
Some suggestions for novice fish keepers
1, if the resolution to raise fish, do not rush to buy a fish tank to buy equipment, but first to the various aquarium forums dive diving, catch up on the basic knowledge of fish farming. Although fish is a hobby, but also need to spend money and spirit. The famous forums are South American Aquarium, Longtop Aquarium and so on, no matter what kind of fish you design to keep, there is very complete basic knowledge on it. If you have already thought about what fish to keep, you will understand more about how big a tank to keep this kind of fish, with what filtration, a number of temperature appropriate, keep a few suitable, which equipment is necessary, which equipment can not be used, the principle is to buy less to buy less.
2, the fish have the beginning of familiarity, you can open the tank to raise water. According to the forum of the opening steps on the tank can be, burst oxygen, 24 hours on the filter, add nitrifying bacteria (non-essential) and so on, the time to keep water to see their own patience, seven days is not little, a month is not much, but how not less than three days, the purpose of the three days is mainly in addition to the residual chlorine in the tap water. As for whether you need to break into the tank fish, the first depends on whether you have the patience, the second depends on whether the fish you get is delicate, the main role of putting into the tank fish is to test the suitability of water quality and accelerate the establishment of nitrification system.
3, the moment in the fish market to choose fish focus on more look more questions, look at the state of the fish, ask the arrival time of the fish, you can fish yourself, don’t let the boss to you fish, can choose the dexterity, don’t choose less due to the spelling set of things, choose the fish is to have rather than indiscriminate, otherwise is to find yourself in poverty. As for the way to choose fish, there are a lot of online, you can always search out to see. Don’t mind the poor, raising fish is a poor thing!
4, on the new fish over water, must pay attention to, are spending money to buy, according to the exact way over water to not a brain thrown in, spend an hour to fish over water only benefit no harm. Many novice new fish did not raise two days to die with no water relationship. Raising fish is originally a piece of trivial, including feeding water, which thing to do over, the fish will die to you see, not at all bring fuzzy.
5, as usual maintenance is mainly feeding and water changes, it is said that fish first water, leaving aside the hard problem of filtration strength, the main reason for the slack water quality is in water changes and feeding practices. The fish is not starving, even a few days without feeding is not much of a problem, but if you feed more than a good thing, the fish is not only easy to indigestion enteritis, residual bait on the water quality damage ability is very strong, may be two or three days of things, your fish will die. To feed the fish remember a principle, feed, even diligent feeding is not worth recommending.
6, as for the water change on two principles, temperature and number, the new water can be higher than the old water a degree or two, the minimum temperature must be equal to the original tank water. If you find that there is more residue and fish poop at the bottom of the tank, you should pay attention to pump out and make up the new water. If it is the treatment of fish disease can be another discussion, fish disease times more water changes is to cut the number of germs, compared to more water changes on the fish caused by the danger, we prefer to choose dilution of germs.
7, look at the attitude of fish disease is to prevent, the main practice is to regularly under some in addition to the internal parasite or sterilization drugs, the basic practice of preventing fish disease as usual to maintain the stability of water quality, including maintaining a constant temperature, regular water changes, discipline feeding, etc.. As for the treatment of fish disease, it is not recommended for newcomers to use drugs, even if the drugs are isolated, the use of drugs at the same time to raise the temperature of oxygen.
The usual maintenance of fish tank
Control stable water quality
-Stable salinity
When you first modulate a tank of seawater, just focus on the ratio of 30 liters of seawater per kilogram of seawater salt. The pH of the modulated seawater is mostly maintained at 8.0~8.4, the density is 1.020~1.024. and the nitrite content is below 0.1 mg/l. After the operation of the aquarium, the usual water will evaporate, which will lower the water level and increase the density of the water day by day, you must add fresh water every now and then to make up for it. After making up for the fresh water, you have to check whether the density of the water is appropriate. Emphasize that the temperature must be held below 25℃ when measuring salinity. Nowadays, the most advanced equipment for measuring salinity content is the conductivity meter for measuring seawater. The conductivity value of the scale seawater should be between 47~5 1 milliSiemens/cm, and we commonly use buoy type or box type densitometer.
-Stable pH
Anyone who has kept saltwater appreciation fish knows that it is extremely important to maintain a solid pH in the aquarium. Since the pH of the water in the aquarium will drop due to nitrite and nitrate residues, it must be tested regularly to avoid deterioration of the water quality, resulting in fish discomfort and disease. It is important to know that most of the large and small white spot diseases common in seawater appreciation fish are fumigated by excessive pH change, so we should pay attention to: adjusting the pH and accurately monitoring its change during the time of drug treatment, so that it will be easier to control the white spot disease in seawater fish.
As a rule, the pH and the concentration of nitrite and nitrate should be tested every two weeks in the aquarium, and the pH should be maintained between 7.9 and 8.3. If it is a freshly set up saltwater aquarium, the number of pH tests should be more or less. When the pH of the aquarium water is raised or lowered, the pH can be adjusted by using alkaline enhancer (to raise the pH) or acid enhancer (to lower the pH), but it should be held slowly, not to raise or lower too much at one time, as usual, not to cross 0.1, if the adjustment crosses 0.1, it can be held several times, gradually plunging to the required pH. however, if the aquarium water is just adjusted soon and the pH drops down quickly, it will remind you The water cluster tank needs to be changed.
-Regular sectoral water changes
Nitrate can not be dissected by nitrifying bacteria, some removal methods are too costly, when nitrate accumulation to a certain level, it will lead to algae such as hair algae, hair algae, silk algae, brown algae and even red algae masses. This not only affects the elegance of the aquarium, but also cause some damage to the fish or creatures, which in turn damage the ecological balance of the aquarium, leading to the flooding of the box, can not be considered serious. So in the usual governance to do regular water changes, every month to change out 1 0% of the seawater (with gravel suction dirt pump gravel under the dirty water). Note that when adding new seawater should be added slowly and pumped in with a thin tube to stop the water quality from changing too quickly and stimulating the fish, etc.
-To check the filtration system regularly
①If you use outside the box filter, after washing, make sure to connect the water pipe. Note that the pump can both filter the water in the tank and pump out the water in the aquarium.
②Check frequently whether the water flowing from the filter is normal and whether there are signs of blockage. In addition, the first layer of dirt-blocking biomass or cartridge should be washed frequently and replaced regularly.
③Activated carbon should be replaced regularly.
④Wash the dirt in the oval scatterer regularly.
⑤ The filter should be washed regularly (the way has been described earlier).
Appropriate lighting Appropriate lighting refers to the light that can maintain the livelihood and breeding of single-celled insect yellow algae that are symbiotic with invertebrates. We have already discussed that for different organisms their light requirements are different, with strong, medium and low light. We can give an example, a length of 130 cm, water depth 60 cm aquarium, the installation of two 150 watt metal halide lamp, 40 cm from the surface of the water, 10 hours of daily exposure is sufficient. You can then analogize whether your aquarium maintains the appropriate lighting conditions.
Proper water flow
-Circulating water flow
Since nitrifying bacteria need to consume very high levels of oxygen in the process of nitrification, it is a major consideration in the design of the recirculating water flow to deliver sufficient oxygen and organic matter to be dissected in the water into the filter material in an even manner so that the nitrifying bacteria can dissect it out usefully. We must be familiar with the fact that too large a water flow will not allow the nitrifying bacteria to stop and create a dense nitrification network. Too slow water flow can not reach the effectiveness of transporting oxygen and organic matter, resulting in some dead space, resulting in an anaerobic zone, accumulating unwanted ammonia and hydrogen sulfide and other waste gases, which in turn is not conducive to the leisure of water quality.
-Powerful water flow
Water flow movement can make every place in the aquarium, such as corners, cracks, holes and corals around the water can get replaced all the time. We must think to prevent the existence of areas where the water is still. The movement of water can make the metabolic products of single-celled worm yellow algae on invertebrates will be dispelled by the movement of water. The organic food will also be sent around the habitat of the organisms due to the action of the water flow, making them easier to ingest.
In summary, the water flow in the aquarium is very important. It is more ideal to create a water circulation rate of at least 5 times per hour in the aquarium with a circulating pump, and it is better to accept two pumps so that the water flow is replaced with a bias every 6 hours and switched on and off on time.
Check the water temperature
Keeping tropical seawater appreciation fish and invertebrates, it is necessary to keep the temperature of the aquarium within the temperature limit of natural tropical seawater, which is between 25~27℃. When the temperature is lower than 20℃ or cross 30℃, the calcium coral will stop synthesizing calcium, and the temperature is beyond the limit of 15~32℃. Most of the coral city perish. Therefore. In the feeding management, depending on the situation to install cooling and heating equipment, in order to prepare for the summer high temperature Shun winter cold use. When heating the aquarium in winter, due to the high conductivity of seawater, to use grounded heater. In order to cherish the user. The best safety measure is to install a 24-volt low-voltage heating system. The fish happen to be clustered in one place, if the number of fish heads is wrong, you must carefully find out the fish that did not come over to eat the bait and further examine these fish, is it a poor appetite, or do not want to get along with other fish? If found dead, must immediately fish out, so as not to pollute the water, fish death is the result of disease fumigation? The fish are dying from disease, or from injuries caused by other fish attacks? To find out the cause. It is worth paying attention to the seawater appreciation of fish to any pressure or nuisance are very sensitive, so when examining the fish, use the eyes not hands, only to prevent the hands into the aquarium.
Fish tank and home feng shui
Fish tank should not be placed under the idol – any idol under the fish tank is not suitable, rare is under the God of wealth and three stars of fortune, otherwise, that is “God under the water”, there will be broken money!
Fish tank should not be the kitchen stove – fish tank on the kitchen stove, the two into a straight line opposite, which is very bad, because it will have damage to the health of the family.
The number of fish in home feng shui is the number of Luo Shu to match the number of fish. A good way to have good feng shui at home is to keep some goldfish in the fish tank. It is best to keep nine goldfish, eight of which are red or gold, and the other one is metaphorical. If the goldfish you keep accidentally die, just buy them again to make up for it. In feng shui, we thought that the fish would die because it blocked the bad luck for the family.
Do not keep goldfish in the bedroom, toilet or kitchen. The bedroom is even worse, you will suffer material losses, such as theft, or even robbed. It is better to keep the fish in the living room or outside the house, the fish tank in the north and southeast will never lose their footing. But also depends on the state of the house.
Placement of fish tank to play a role, must pay attention to each balance space orientation. The house’s financial position is suitable for the placement of fish tank, as usual in the diagonal position of the entrance and exit, can not be placed in miscellaneous objects, corners, floors can not be stripped damage. Do not be placed in the center of the house. Southeast main money and abundance, career success is in the north, so it is appropriate to place the fish tank in the southeast or north, the best can be placed in the sense of rapid and favorable entry, that is, the front of the Ming Hall location, so you can do at the same time as the office landscape, elegantly designed fish tank, full of green and vitality, help to relax the nerves, improve the spirit, expand interpersonal relationships. The choice of auspicious orientation must be based on feng shui to calculate the design space and orientation.
