The water in the fish tank is always mixed. What's going on? How can it be clear?

In order to improve the taste of home in life, a tank of goldfish is generally raised at home. In the process of breeding, the water will always appear turbid. It is very troublesome to clean up the large fish tank. Today, let's see why the fish tank water is always turbid. How to deal with it?

Three forms of fish tank water turbidity

1. Physical turbidity

The turbidity caused by excessive particulate impurities in the tank is called physical turbidity. Generally, at the initial stage of opening the tank, due to the use of new filter materials, a large number of particulate impurities and short fibers and other foreign matters will cause turbidity in the water body. However, this turbidity is not terrible, through a few days of filtration can filter out most of the impurities, so physical turbidity is not the main reason for the turbidity of fish tank water.

2. Chemical turbidity

Turbidity caused by the addition of chemical substances, such as water turbidity caused by the use of water purification agents and flocculants, is rare and completely controllable, and is not the main cause of turbidity in fish tank water.

3. Biological turbidity

The phenomenon of turbidity caused by the proliferation of microorganisms is called biological turbidity. Fish tank water chaos unclear, gray to the fog hazy feeling, these images are biological turbidity characteristics, we often say water turbidity, that is, refers to biological turbidity.

Second, how to solve the turbidity of fish tank water

1. There must be an effective ecological filter system

These include mechanical filtration and biological filtration. The usual mechanical filtration can only remove solid dirt, and there are a large number of organic substances dissolved in water, such as protein, which cannot be filtered and can only be completed by biological filtration systems.

Fish tank water can be contaminated by fish droppings, food residues, and plant rot. In people's imagination, the purpose of filtering out visible suspended substances in water and keeping water clear and transparent has been achieved. In fact, this is only the primary function of filtration, which we usually call mechanical filtration.

Modern aquarium filtration should have both mechanical and biological filtration, and sometimes physical filtration. Of particular importance is biofiltration. The so-called biological filtration is to decompose or convert harmful substances dissolved in water into harmless substances through bacteria attached to the filter material, which is the most important filtration function. Physical filtration is the use of certain materials unique adsorption function (such as activated carbon) to purify water. Physical filtration is only used for short periods of time in exceptional circumstances, such as to remove residual chemicals from water.

2, in order to keep the water always clean and transparent

The filter capacity should be large enough. The filtration capacity of the filter is expressed in liters/hour. To filter the water, it is generally required to achieve 4-7 filtration cycles. Specifically, if the water in the fish tank is 200 liters, it is necessary to equip the filter with 800-1500 liters/hour.

3. The number of fish and the amount of bait should be moderate

The density of fish is too high, feed too much, equal to increase the amount of pollution. Some inferior baits in the market, in order to increase the sale of pigment, feed when the pigment dissolved in the water, so that the water into color, such as this situation should be replaced bait to solve the problem.

4, water plants can also play a role in clear water quality

Aquaculture of aquatic plants in the aquarium is also a good helper for purifying the water body. We should try our best to raise more aquatic plants, so that the whole aquarium tank becomes a small ecological paradise, and the water body naturally becomes very clear.

5. Fish tank culture scavenger

Incubate in baths with organisms that remove deposits from the bottom of the tank, such as scavengers and mossy shrimp, which remove dirt and algae from the tank walls and make them clean and clear.
