Everything about aquariums
Suddenly you discovered that your fish has died in your aquarium and you don’t know what to do now? I have put together five tips for you to cope with the death of fish and what to do if this does happen.
It happens that aquariums are invaded and colonized by “pest” organisms that cause fears among aquarists, although they are harmless by nature. Sometimes these concerns are not unfounded since the presence of these organisms in large numbers (which is of the nature of an epidemic) is a sign of deterioration of the fish habitat.
Ways to combat a black beard in an aquarium are divided into biological and chemical methods. The chemical method requires the use of drugs, which will most quickly help to remove a black beard but can be dangerous for the inhabitants.
It happens that aquariums are invaded by pests! And these “guests” cause great concern among aquarists, although most of them are inherently harmless. But sometimes these fears are not unfounded since the presence of these organisms in large numbers in the aquarium is a sign of deterioration of the fish habitat.
Nitrogen and phosphorus in aquarium plants – this is the main essence of the article. What’s in the plants inside. How much nitrogen and phosphorus are in plants. What is their ratio of nitrogen and phosphorus (or nitrate and phosphate)?
Ozone (Oz) consists of three oxygen atoms and is also a strong oxidizing agent. It is also used to disinfect water. As a result of the rapid and complete decomposition of ozone (Oz) to oxygen (O2) on the way from the waterworks to our apartments, ozone is no longer present in our drinking water.
At many pumping and water supply stations, chlorine is added to drinking water as a disinfectant. Chlorine can be added to water in various forms: either as elemental chlorine gas, as chlorine dioxide, or as hypochlorous acid (an aqueous solution of chlorine gas). The disinfecting effect is based on a series of reactions of chlorine or chlorine dioxide readily soluble in it. Two different chlorine compounds are formed: hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a low oxidation state of chlorine and hypochlorous acid (HCl) with a high oxidation state of chlorine.
When the fish are over-fed at the bottom of the aquarium, the anaerobic environment is formed from the remains of food, detritus, and feces, in which nitrates are converted to nitrogen. But what happens if, as a result of anaerobic decomposition of organic compounds, nitrates will no longer remain?
The causative agent of fin rot is the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens. It lives in natural reservoirs and enters the home tank through food, soil, decor, or from new fish from the store that has not passed quarantine.
