Cycling Set

Cycling without fish for your aquarium tropical

Once you set up your tropical aquarium the next step is to "cycle" of them. This process produces beneficial bacteria that process the ammonia from fish waste and convert it into nitrites and then into relatively harmless nitrates. After adding fish to the tank uncycled toxic ammonia and nitrite levels will rise to high is dangerous until there is a sufficient number of bacteria to become less toxic nitrates. For overcome these methods have been devised to encourage the growth of bacteria. The traditional method is to add some "resistant" fish that produce ammonia to promote the growth of bacteria, while the tank is cycling. This method is very stressful for the fish, many of whom die or are damaged by the process. Toxic ammonia burns the gills and leads to permanent damage. At the end of 'cycling' fish are left in poor condition that you do not, can in your aquarium.

A better and more humane method to change the tank is to use a fishless cycling method. Ammonia is used as a source, rather than fish living, and a culture of bacteria obtained from a healthy tank or purchased from a supplier of aquarium.

The cultivation of bacteria for beginners

You can get a starter bacterial culture by adding a half of gravel or stone filter, a tank healthy, aged tropical fish. If you do not have a source There are commercial products available, such StressZyme or Hagen Cycle. The culture will give you a quick exit to the production of a colony of bacteria, but can also use this method without a starter culture. It will take a little longer to move then your tank.

Ammonia

Buy Some unscented, additive free 100% ammonia. Some aquarium supply stores are now selling the ammonia for the purpose. If you know a chemist or science teacher who may be able to get some pure ammonia from a laboratory supplier ..

Tank Temperature

The bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) thrive best at higher temperature than is usually used for a tropical tank so during the cycle of temperature increase between 30 and 35 C (85-95F). When you add the fish you can convert it back.

Test Kit

A review team to check the ammonia and nitrite levels is essential to test and levels indicate when the cycle is complete.

The method of fishless cycling

Additional aeration is recommended while cycling as bacteria need oxygen to grow. Increase ventilation through the tank and filter if possible. You could add an extra air stone or even the use of an additional pump if is available. Add your bacterial culture, then add a teaspoon of ammonia in a small tank. Increase this to a larger tank. Allow about one hour for the ammonia to circulate then test. The ammonia level should be 5 mg / L (or 5 ppm). Add a little ammonia was higher if the level is too low. Leave tank only a few days then try again.

At this stage the ammonia level should begin to drop and the rising level of nitrite. This means that bacteria are doing their job to process ammonia. Add a little ammonia was greater drops to zero to give the bacteria more to work. The nitrite level should be increased to reach a maximum and then begin to fall as nitrites are transformed into relatively harmless nitrates. After three or four days maximum nitrite levels are observed nitrite levels should fall to zero. Cycling has ended.

Change about 50-70% of the water, being careful not to disturb the filter or the gravel bed where bacteria are colonized. Reset the temperature to 25 ° C, or the recommended temperature for fish for and allow the temperature to stabilize for a few hours. Re-test for ammonia and nitrites and if levels are equal to zero and can start adding some fish.

What is possible after cycling the tank to add all the fish at one time, but this will result in an increase in ammonia and nitrite levels is stressful to the fish and could make them sick. Slowly add fish allow bacteria to grow to deal with added levels of ammonia excreted by fish. Even for a tank of a full course, you should add a little little fish. aim to take about a month to fully stock the tank.

A fishless cycling method is more efficient and produces a fully completed tank a cycle in a much shorter time than the traditional method of using hardy fish. It is also more human and not be left with unwanted, often damaged fish at the end.
