Tanks Aquarium Care Guide-New

When starting a new aquarium, it is important to understand the nitrogen cycle. Many aquarium owners another leap in the hobby of fish keeping too quickly. Before purchasing fish, the aquarium must be cycled. This may take twenty-four hours to four weeks. In an established aquarium there are certain bacteria that help the breakdown of ammonia to nitrates, but not present in a new tank, as they are generated from existing fish. If there are no existing fish, then there is good bacteria.

The basic principle of the nitrogen cycle is as follows. Fish eat food and waste. That waste along with excess food and plant debris become ammonia in the aquarium. Ammonia is toxic to fish and needs to be broken. That's why the nitrifying bacteria is important. This bacteria, turns the ammonia into nitrites, which are more tolerable to fish than ammonia. Next, different nitrifying bacteria turn nitrites into nitrates, which are even less toxic to aquarium fish and the lives of others. The nitrates are collected and minimize the filters, but that eventually accumulate in the tank. Regular water changes are necessary to remove nitrates from water.

It is important to create and manage a fish aquarium before being introduced into the environment. Wash deposit or substrate and water features. Do not use soap. Fill the tank with de-chlorinated water and attach filters and lighting. Allow the tank to make a water cycle until the PH is no longer cloudy and sufficient water temperature and have been established.

Now is the time to buy fish! Buy hardy fish such as danios, catfish, gouramis, and live media. They should be able to withstand the levels of nitrite and ammonium high in the new aquarium. Only introduce about four fish at a time. Float fish held in the aquarium for about fifteen minutes before their inclusion in the tank. This will help the fish acclimate to the temperature of water in your new home. When you add the fish, be careful not to allow water from the bag into the aquarium. May be contaminated, or will at least get rid of temperature and PH Allow the fish about two hours to acclimatize before feeding.

Only feed an amount that can be consumed in the first two to five minutes. Overfeeding is a common problem in an aquarium. It is important not to overfeed, because excess food will become debris adding to the levels of ammonia. This is especially important in new aquariums that lack nitrifying bacteria. PH Test the water every day during the first month. Watch the tank for cloudiness, and if the aquarium becomes cloudy, it may be necessary add a clarifier. Monitor the fish for signs of stress or illness. A healthy fish will be swimming regularly. lethargic fish usually hovers near the surface the aquarium. After a few weeks a change approximately ten percent of the water and begin regular maintenance.
