Hangtai Aquarium: there is a knack for choosing the bottom sand of the aquarium.

The bottom sand of the fish tank is a necessary material for the breeding of aquatic plants, and the bottom sand can provide nutrients for the growth of aquatic plants. However, in addition to the supply of nutrients, the appearance of the bottom sand is also very important. If the fish tank places colorful bottom sand, it has a great impact on the landscape effect of the whole fish tank, because the editor thinks that the most important thing for the landscape tank is beauty and comfort, rather than all kinds of strong colors filling the eyeball. So if you want to build a beautiful fish tank, the choice of bottom sand is very important. Today, let's talk about how to choose a few elements of landscape foundation sand!

First: the sand at the bottom should not be too fine, too fine sand can easily cause blockage at the bottom of the aquarium. The diameter of the bottom sand should be at least 1 cm.

Second: for aquariums without heating system, the bottom layer is generally a mixture of silica sand and base fertilizer, plus a double amount of washed silica sand, with a diameter of 1-2 cm and a height of 2-3 cm. Note that the thickness of the bottom layer needs to be limited to ensure the flow and alternation of the flow.

Third: for the aquarium with a heating system, the height of the bottom can reach 3-5 cm, and the bottom sand can also choose stone particles with a diameter of 1-2 cm. Of course, it should be cleaned before being put into the box.

Fourth: if the background paper is affixed to the landscape jar, choose the plain sand as much as possible, and you can also spread meat or white pebbles on the top floor.

The following is to introduce several kinds of landscape vats, which are common and popular bottom sand:

1. Coral sand: like coral stone, it will harden the water quality and become alkaline. (suitable for seawater or raising hard-water fish, African sea bream, etc.)

2. Dark green sand: dark green, the water quality of this sand is slightly alkaline, when KH and PH are low, it is more suitable to choose.

3. Ilan sand: because of its black and white color, the color is more beautiful, but the particles are uneven, so it is rarely used in the ecological tank (suitable for medium and large fish species).

4. Philippine sand: the effect is similar to that of coral sand. (suitable for seawater or raising hard-water fish, African sea bream, etc.)
