Fish Do you often encounter turbid water in the fish tank, or even covered with moss, which affects the ecology of the water? There is a clean and clean environment, how to remove annoying algae? A pet editor has summarized some experiences, let's take a look!

1. The reason why the fish tank water turns green

1. Green algae reproduction and growth

Sometimes the light time in the fish tank is too long, which will lead to the reproduction and growth of a large number of green algae. They float in the water, stick to the walls of the aquarium or the surface of water grass leaves to turn the water green.

2. Water quality and environmental pollution

The proportion of fish and aquatic plants in the fish tank is unreasonable or too dense. As a result, the filter cannot completely filter the pollutants, which pollutes the water quality environment, and also causes the green algae to grow too fast.

3. Excessive feeding of food

Excess fish food rots and deteriorates in the water, which is the nutrient of green algae, so more green algae will grow, making the fish tank more The water turns green.

2. Various algae removal methods

1. Overgrowth of green algae

Excessive accumulation of nitrate and phosphate in water due to overgrowth of unicellular green algae , In the ideal light and nutrient environment, it only takes half a day to turn the clear water into green immediately.

2. To remove the black hair algae

Most of the black hair algae grow on the edge of the water grass leaves. When you find this type of algae growing in the tank, you should immediately use scissors to cut off the leaves of the growing algae to remove it as completely as possible from the aquarium.

3. Remove blue-green algae

In the early stage of the grass tank setting, it is generally most likely to appear on the water grass leaves, tank walls or the surface of the bottom sand, and the growth rate is amazing, which will form a Layer film, inhibit the photosynthesis and respiration of aquatic plants, so that aquatic plants grow poorly.

4. Eat algae and fish to remove silk algae

Silk algae mainly grow on the leaves of water plants and stones. During removal, the filamentous algae can also be removed by hand or with appropriate tools; or by stocking algae-eating animals, such as black marys and moss rats.

5. Moss reproduces quickly

Moss grows on the glass of the aquarium or on the surface of the rocks in the tank. Very fast, especially in water rich in organic nutrients.

3. Prevention of algae in the fish tank

1. Shorten the light time

It should be noted that the fish tank should not be placed in a position exposed to sunlight. Also pay attention to the use of light, too strong light and too long is also the reason for the growth of algae. The lighting should be reasonably arranged according to the size of the grass tank, and the lighting time of the normal grass tank should be controlled at about 10 hours.

2. The solution of densely planting aquatic plants

Plant as many aquatic plants as possible, so that the aquatic plants can fully absorb the nutrients in the water body, and there will be no algae.

3. Prevention before setting

Before planting aquatic plants, add moss remover to the water, about 50% of the normal usage. When buying aquatic plants, first check whether there are algae on the surface of the aquatic plants. If there are algae on the leaves, give it up as much as possible.

4. Daily observation habits

First of all, learn to observe the health of aquatic plants and ornamental fish at the same time. Once spotted algae spots and filamentous algae appear on the bottom layer or at the roots of aquatic plants or extend to the leaf margins, they should be removed immediately.

5. Raising scavengers

I recommend keeping a few scavengers in the fish tank. This kind of fish feeds on the garbage and algae in the fish tank, which can effectively control the algae .
