Solutions for irregular water chemistry

Crystal water

You need to know about the solutions that you can get rid of this irregular water chemistry. To do this, you must test our water of the aquarium to maintain a stable environment for fish of the launch of the disk. Unless you test your water, you may not understand if the water is stable to launch or not. Analysis of water is important and you need to do, but in my experience, I suggest that you do not go behind these figures which are said by experienced enthusiasts. Some Aquarium read that pH should be x and hardness must be y and continually add buffers and chemicals to the water to change the pH and the hardness, resulting in wild swings in water chemistry. TO AVOID THIS! Most of the fish and even your disk can support up to a certain range of chemistry of the water, but they do not tolerate rapid changes. Maintain stable water chemistry and to keep the level optimal for your specific fish, is difficult. Several parameters are interdependent, so that if you change one, the other changes as well. Be able to manage and manipulate water chemistry to provide a stable and healthy environment is the challenge facing any Aquarium. The Cycle of nitrogen (ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate) three major water chemistry parameters are the ammonia / ammonium (NH3 / NH4 +), nitrite (NO2) - and nitrate (NO3)-. These three chemicals are important because ammonia and nitrite are both very toxic to aquatic life, even at low concentrations. Incidentally, neither one is great for us either. Nitrate, and that much less toxic than ammonia or nitrite, is toxic in high concentrations. More importantly, it is a large plant nutrient and therefore causes algal blooms.

Now a days, many products are available on the market that claim to detoxify ammonia and nitrites. These preparations are acceptable to use in an emergency, you must store these products too. As when a dead fish discus causes a huge ammonia Spike, but they are not a substitute for good filtration and rearing. These things do not actually remove nitrogenous waste of the system. they simply link to the ammonia and make it less toxic to fish. All of the nitrogen is still in the system of the other populations of algae and bacteria. There is still no substitute for biological filtration and old-fashioned good water changes. In my aquarium, I have this system of biological filtering for fish of the launch of the disk with great success.
