First, the selection of aquarium products:
1.
A good activated carbon product is subjected to “activation treatment”.
The so-called “activation treatment” means that the porosity of
activated carbon is significantly improved during the manufacturing
process to make it more absorbent. However,
whether or not the product has been “activated and treated” with the
naked eye is difficult to identify, and can only be determined based on
the characteristics of the product.
2.
There are many kinds of activated carbon products on the market. Many
fish farmers who prefer to fish are difficult to distinguish between
their good and bad. Some
products are basically charcoal only and can not effectively remove the
harmless spirit. This kind of products that look like charcoal on the
outside are generally glossy, and it is better not to purchase. Please
look for Laoshan Brand Activated Carbon. We used to have more than 30
years of experience. History.
3, when purchasing, please keep in mind that the smaller the particles, the better the effect. Because of its larger total external surface, the more pores there are. However,
the particles must not be too fine to be powdered, so as to avoid the
application of convenience and affect the filtration flow rate of the
filter. It is generally preferred that the particle size be approximately 1 mm in diameter.
Second, the use and dosage of aquarium supplies:
1.
Activated carbon can be used to remove suspended matter from the water,
but its voids will be quickly obstructed by suspended solids, and the
original result will be achieved. Therefore,
it should be placed on the top of the filter cotton, so that after the
filter cotton is first disposed of to remove the suspended matter in the
water, the soluble harmless spirit of the filter cotton cannot be
disposed by the activated carbon, but the activated carbon to prevent
the particles from being too small The
tail end of the filtered water flows into the aquarium and is also
changed locally so that it can be replaced locally. It is best to place
it as a second layer of filter data, and place other filter data such as
biological filter balls, ceramic rings, etc. Under it.
2. Activated carbon is best placed in a mesh bag and then it is fastened. The bag filled with activated charcoal can be placed in an internal filter or placed in the drip filter's sink. When
necessary, the voluntary local flow of water through the activated
carbon, but in some cases this will add filter resistance and reduce its
effectiveness. However,
since the effect of activated carbon is very slow, it is advisable to
use local water flow through the activated carbon filter so that it does
not affect the filter's resistance. The
benefit of this approach is that both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria
can grow in the filter at the same time. The aerobic bacteria can
perform oxidative synthesis, while the anaerobic bacteria synthesize
nitrate into nitrogen in the anaerobic zone of activated carbon. Therefore,
the activated carbon filtration data will change with the filtering
nature of the chemical to the nature of the biological filtration.
3.
Place the activated carbon in the fish tank of Yantai Aquarium Please
pay attention to the most important point. Don't keep it in the filter.
Although he has a small amount of ability to absorb harmless spirit, but
after a long time, there will still be saturated time. Not
only can not receive the spirit, but will release the harmless spirit,
affect the water quality in the cylinder, many people keep fish for a
long time, have to change the water, change the filter and other
measures, but still down the cylinder, is this reason,
4, if it is constantly into the water, please note that one or two months to let him recover once, how to recover? Take out the activated carbon and rinse it in clean water. Then take the sun for two days and then rinse it with clean water.
5,
after the ordinary medicine bath, put the activated carbon to adsorb
the residual medicine, two days later took it in, do not exceed one
week, place the status of the filter in the bottom can be.
6, in addition, activated carbon filter data in the aquarium there is another role. That
is, when using an ozone generator, the ozone-containing water stream
must be filtered through activated carbon to confirm that the filtered
water does not have any ozone.
