Fish tank cleaning

Method 1 of cleaning the fish tank: Yellow things will be produced in the fish tank for a long time, so this is the scavenger's favorite food. It will stick its mouth to the glass and move around in some corners and dead corners to eat dirty things, so it is not bad to leave a sweeper to clean the fish tank.

Fish tank cleaning method 2: magnetic brush cleaning fish tank is also a good choice, which can avoid the traditional pouring water cleaning method. The following figure shows the magnetic brush. It is half in the fish tank and half outside the fish tank, attracted by magnets. It will move with the brush outside when cleaning, which is a good choice.

Cleaning method 3 of fish tank: The following cleaning method is a more thorough one, which is generally used to treat fish tanks filled with dead and sick fish. That's potassium permanganate. Of course, everything in the bathtub should be taken out at first (stones and sand can be taken out), and then potassium permanganate and water should be added. It should be full at this time.

Just wait 15 minutes to pour out the water and then wash it carefully. And not too much, just a little.

When using potassium permanganate, pay attention to avoid skin contact and eye contact. Potassium permanganate is corrosive and must be cleaned after use. .

Second, fish tank cleaning

Proper handling of the water tank Tropical fish that once lived in the vast environment of nature were brought to the narrow water tank in the new environment for breeding. Make great efforts to understand the ecology of fish and observe it carefully, so as to keep the fish well and live longer.

Watching beautiful fish relax in clean water can nourish the soul and bring vitality to the whole family. Remove the dirt in the water tank, remove the ugly moss and insufficient feeding water, and ensure that the feeding equipment works normally.

Do not move the water tank at will. Don't often change the layout in the tank, so that the fish can live stably, the plants can grow smoothly, and the daily management is faithfully implemented, which is the excellent environment for fish and aquatic plants to live in peace.

In addition, don't forget to clean up around the water tank. Otherwise, it is unsightly, and at the same time, it is necessary to prevent bait corruption and electrical accidents.

If you want to solve the problem of changing water in the water tank, you must practice using water pipes skillfully. Using the siphon effect of water flowing downwards.

First, fill both ends of the pipe with water, one end is immersed in the fish tank, and the other end is put into the prepared bucket, and the water naturally flows out. You can also start by taking a sip.

If you think this method is difficult, put all the water pipes into the water. When the water pipe is full, press a pipe tightly and put it in the bucket, and the water will flow out. If you master these methods skillfully, it will be easy to change some water. There are many ways to wash sand.

Especially when washing fresh sand, it looks clean, but once it is washed with water, it looks dirty. The best way is to put the sand into the bucket bit by bit, stir it with hands or sticks, and wash it while discharging water.

At this time, the sand in the lower layer should also be stirred to let the sewage flow out. In addition, it is also a good method to put them into the washbasin one by one and do it by the way of old people washing rice.

Don't want to wash a lot at once to save trouble, it will be unclean, but it will take time. New sand is mixed with plant fragments such as sawdust. If it is not washed out, it will cause corruption in the tank and worsen the water quality.

Especially dirty sand should be heated and disinfected, and then cooled with tap water. Clean and disinfect before use.

Other methods are: use a 3mm mesh screen, rinse with water pipes, take out the big garbage by hand, and let other dirt be washed away with the water flow. Fill the bucket with sand and stir it by hand until the water on the bucket is not turbid.

This can also be washed clean. The sand used in the subsoil must be cleared of floating objects.

Don't use metal containers to wash sand. It is best to use plastic buckets. Large grains of sand may also be broken into small grains of sand, so use a basket sieve.

Wash stones with a hard brush, especially dirty stones. After washing, they should be disinfected with hot water before use. 3。

The biggest factor for fish to survive is water. Even experienced fish farmers have many unsolvable problems about water, including us. What does water, which is very important for living things, contain? Easy to get, there are tap water and well water.

But in order to disinfect tap water, bleach is often mixed. Bleach will dissipate after exposure to sunlight or pumping water with bubble stones for 24 hours.

If you can't wait that long, you can use sodium thiosulfate (hypo) to develop the photos for neutralization. Ten liters of tap water can be neutralized by a colorless and transparent crystal sea wave.

Well water mostly contains no bleach, but it will contain ammonia, so it is necessary to check it. General drinking water should be no problem for fish.

But at least pay attention to whether its pH and hardness can adapt to your fish. Put water into the small water tank, and the water will flow from the bucket into the water, and then slowly into the fish tank.

To deal with a large water tank, you can put a wooden board on the upper edge of the water tank, put a bucket on it, drain the water with a water pipe, and take a plate and other utensils as a buffer to reduce the impact of the water, so as to avoid the deliberate collapse of the paved gravel. After releasing water, re-check whether the aquatic plants have been planted stably. If there are auxiliary appliances (electric heaters, air pumps, pneumatic decorations, etc.). ), let them start. Wait a week or so before putting the fish. Never put the fish in at once.

4。 Feeding method is the key to keep tropical fish healthy.

As long as the newly bought fish can settle down in the water tank, they can start feeding. Let the fish eat good bait, but also for the sake of the fish, try to raise the fish well.

The fish bought from the aquarium is different from the wild fish. They are used to feeding bait in the water tank. Therefore, as long as you watch and listen more, it is not a problem.

What are the feeding habits of tropical fish, but most of them like to eat animal bait. A large number of tropical fish have various feeding habits.

What food can be divided into, animals, plants, etc. ◎ Ornamental fish food is suitable for all kinds of fish food. Don't overeat.

The residual bait will worsen the water quality. When feeding, you should observe the bait method of fish, and you can judge whether they are healthy or not from their actions, and whether they like to eat this bait.

.

3. How to clean the newly bought fish tank to raise fish?

Smell it first to see if it smells like glass glue. If there is, let it stand for a few days.

If there is no smell of glass glue, you can clean it with tap water.

The following is my personal practice. If there are fish friends with different opinions, I won't take part in the argument. Please leave one person behind!

I also saw that many people mentioned cleaning new fish tanks with potassium permanganate and methyl blue in Baidu forum, which was very puzzling. The main function of potassium permanganate is that heavy metal ions lead to degeneration of protein, which can kill eggs and mold to a certain extent, but it can't be cured. The same is true of methyl blue, but it is slightly stronger than potassium permanganate in killing mold. However, these two things will make the glass glue separate from the glass surface. Long-term use of methyl blue and potassium permanganate is easy to make the joints of fish tanks burst (fish friends can experiment with small fish tanks). So I don't understand why I did it.

Family fish farming is not much better than fish market. The fish tank bought back is either finished or customized. There is no time history of contact with fish, that is, there is no opportunity for eggs and germs carried by fish to attach to new fish tanks and fishing gear. So why use potassium permanganate and methyl blue? Unless you bought a second-hand fish tank.

So when buying a new fish tank, there is no need to use potassium permanganate and methyl blue. If these substances are not cleaned up, it is easy to damage gills and reduce their oxygen carrying capacity.

It is necessary to cultivate nitrifying bacteria in a fish tank and quarantine them with potassium permanganate or methyl blue for 5 minutes before new fish can enter the tank. As long as the fish is healthy, there is no need to pour anything into the fish tank.

Fourth, how to clean the fish tank?

Peacock fish (details)

The fish tank is not a single tank, but consists of an aerator, a filter, a lighting lamp, a heater, a thermometer and other accessories. Fish tank is the basic configuration of fish farming, what should be paid attention to and how to take care of it. Knowledge that should be possessed:

First, how to take care of your own fish tank is an important condition for the success of fish farming. Beginners should not be too young in the fish tank. Too small a tank will cause a lot of inconvenience. For example, water is mixed as soon as it is fed. Because the fish tank is too small to hold the filter, it is necessary to change the water. When fish are raised, the water is often not properly adjusted, and new water will choke the fish to death. If the electricity is cut off for a period of time and there is too little water, it will be anoxic when it calms down, which is even worse for the fish. Therefore, a beginner's fish tank should be 80~ 100cm long, 40cm wide and 40~50cm high. The cabinet where the fish tank is placed must be solid, and a foam board should be placed between the fish tank and the cabinet to prevent the fish tank from cracking due to uneven contact surface after water is discharged. The location should be in a quiet place in your room, where you can see the light and not be directly exposed to the sun.

Second, oxygen-increasing equipment, which is a key thing, must be available, especially a small fish tank or some colorful high-oxygen fish. In addition, pay attention to the adjustment of air volume in winter. If it is too large, the water temperature will drop and the fish will catch a cold.

Thirdly, there are several kinds of filters, commonly used are upward filter, submerged filter, bottom filter and sponge filter. Upper filtration and submerged external filtration are the most commonly used and the equipment is the cheapest; The bottom layer is more troublesome, so it is better to use this kind of water grass, which is not suitable for cleaning and is more expensive; Sponge type, also called air filter, is attached to the air pump, so prepare colorful fish.

Fourth, incandescent lamps cannot be used in lighting appliances, which will affect viewing. There are three main types of lamps: fluorescent lamps, the most common and cheapest; High-pressure mercury lamp has good effect and saves electricity, but it is too expensive; Halogen lamps that are not commonly used are very energy-saving, but they are not durable. Beginners had better use fluorescent lamps to raise fish.

Fifth, you need a heater to heat the fish tank. Nowadays, it is very convenient to use controllable temperature heating rods. There are two kinds of immersion heating rods and non-immersion heating rods. Diving heating rods are also called diving heating rods, and the imported ones are relatively stable.

Sixth, the temperature of the fish tank depends on the thermometer. There are three kinds of thermometers: liquid crystal, mechanical and ordinary, and ordinary is generally better.

Five, how to clean the bottom of the fish tank

1, take a small hose to pump the bottom once or twice a day. The main purpose of bottom pumping is to extract the fish manure from the bottom of the tank. In fact, this kind of pumping does not pump much water, which is about one twentieth. If you are not bored, I will recommend this method. Adding about one twentieth of fresh water every day will promote the metabolism of fish, increase their appetite, ensure the cleanliness of water quality and control harmful substances in water.

2. To build a strong enough filtration system, take my 140*60*70 fish tank as an example for your reference: I put a 5-watt water pump in every corner of the bottom of the fish tank, and an 8-watt pure filter at the other end to pump water into the filter tank above. The first layer in the filter tank is filter cotton, and the second layer is relatively dense. The fifth layer is activated carbon, and the last layer is low-density biochemical cotton. This is the filtration system. There are more than 20 goldfish in my fish tank, and there are basically no impurities in the water. Of course, I raise fish in a bare fish tank. There is another point that I think it is necessary to explain here. How much power does this configuration consume? With this configuration of * * *18W, if the power is turned on 24 hours, the power consumption should be 0.0 18*24=0.432, which means that the power consumption for one day is 0.432 kWh, and my electricity bill here is 50 cents, which means that I can use less than 50 cents for two days. One advantage of this method is that it saves fish and is very convenient.

3. Establish a perfect nitrification system, which is more advanced. To make a long story short, the most important thing in this nitrification system is the formation of nitrifying bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria can survive, improve and form a community in the tank, and they must have several conditions to play their role: there must be fish in the water, the water must flow constantly, and there must be a bacterial bed, which is to give nitrifying bacteria a home. The bed is simple, ceramic ring and glass. Under these conditions, joke bacteria can be formed. When the nitrification system in your fish tank is perfect, the feces of goldfish will be decomposed by those nitrifying bacteria and become nutrients for fish to eat microorganisms and aquatic plants. So put some aquatic plants in the tank.

The above three methods can remove the sediment in the tank well, depending on which one you prefer.
