Cycling of aquarium is the process that helps the tank surpass the nitrogen cycle. Like this water stays naturally pure, and fishes stay healthy. Thank you it, attention of aquarium becomes much more simple, because necesas fewer changes of water.
Chart of akvaria cycle operates as guide for the whole nitrogen process. It helps to follow the rises and depressions of ammonia, nitritoj and nitrates. By means of such chart show as ammonia first burst, later nitritoj follow, and ultimately nitrates stay highly.
How to Cycle Your Aquarium Safely
First happens the explosion of ammonia in biciklada process. It marks the start with rise and depression of ammonia in water. When bacteriums scatter it, ammonia twists in nitritojn.
Nitritoj yet are poisonous. Just after depression of ammonia, nitritoj starts to rise, that is the forthcoming stage. The best mode control whether biofiltrilo pretas are regular tests during whole cycling.
When tests show nullity for ammonia and nitritoj, and nitrate under 20 ppm, cycle ended. Then it is possible to add fishes progressively.
Recall that too much fishes originally can flood bacteriums. They can not handle ĉian waste. Bacterial settlement grows according to new biomass for quickly spare and turn it in nitrates.
Aquarium requires enough bacteriums for the waste of fishes. For instance, if already cycled aquarium with three neontetroj sharply receive 200 will lack bacteriums for immediately turn ĉian waste in safe nitrates. Nitritoj kill fishes but nitrates do not matter in little amounts.
If ammonia stays highly during cycling act for save fishes. Good biological filter should no show ammonia. When level converges to restriction reagadu dangerously.
Do not forget regular changes of water. If nitritoj stay between 1 and 3 on teststrio do everyday changes. If nothing adjusts after time control test for mistakes.
If you use fiŝmanĝaĵon as amoniakfonto halt nutrition for one or two weeks later restart slowly. Remove only plants during that period.
