How to make an ecological fish tank at home

Ecological tanks need to be well matched, and aquatic plants, organisms and nitrifying bacteria should reach a balance point. In the simplest ecological tank, only aquatic plants and tool shrimps can be considered, because tool shrimps eat algae and basically do not need to be fed. Algae grow naturally, shrimp control algae, and daily maintenance is to add some water and liquid fertilizer for a few days. If long-acting base fertilizer is used, even liquid fertilizer is basically saved.

We can only control and maintain a relatively stable biochemical system and reduce the usual maintenance workload.

1, novice, it is recommended to choose better aquatic sediment. Recommended: Wuwei Mud, Ada Mud. A good grass-mud horse can make you get twice the result with half the effort and build up your confidence. Water plants suggest to choose some entry-level water plants first, such as foreground grass: dwarf pearl, mini cow hair, South American cross flower. Medium-smelling grasses: Shui Rong, Pepperweed, Crown, Lycopodium and Round Leaves. Grass in the background: palaces, pagodas, shutters, cress, etc.

2. Straw jars and the like are not suitable for raising big fish. It is suggested to raise some light fish or guppies that are easy to mix, such as traffic lights, lotus lights, triangle lights and emperor lights. It is best to raise some tool fish and tool shrimp at the same time to control algae outbreak, such as elf fish, cherry shrimp, black shell shrimp and so on.

3. The density of aquatic plants is about 50%-75%, which makes it easier to control algae and provide adequate shelter for small fish and shrimp. The number of fish should be controlled at 1 cm, and fish should account for 1 liter of water. The water quality should be controlled at pH 6-6.5 and GH 1-8. The water temperature is controlled at around 23-27. If you can use carbon dioxide, aquatic plants will be in a better state.

The lighting is about 1 0.6-1w. ?
