what is called"Incorrect opening of the cylinder"Is not in accordance with the scientific and reasonable procedures for the opening of the tank step-by-step operation, the water is not yet raised in a hurry to fish, resulting in serious deterioration of water quality turbidity, fish sickly phenomenon. The cause of this phenomenon generally speaking there are two reasons: one is the blindness of the novice, and the second is a shady businessman's flimflam. There are a lot of novice almost in the absence of any experience in fish and water by the case of a shady businessman a fool, will happily buy a fish tank to start raising fish, the results can be imagined.
Now that this has happened, it is important to find a solution to minimize the damage. There are two sets of solutions, one is a safe and effective solution and the other is a second best solution with some risk.
Option 1: Fish sent out for replacement and reopen the tank
This option is safer, provided you find a fish dealer or friend who can keep the fish on your behalf. Before reopening the tank, you should drain all the original mixed water and scrub the tank using a clean cloth3Rinse all filter media with clean water.3All over. In general, fish tanks and filter media do not need to be disinfected, just rinse with water, special circumstances must be disinfected, such as fish tanks have occurred in advance of a large-scale fish disease, fungal disease, insect disease, or suspected that the tank has been seriously contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms, disinfection measures should be taken. Disinfectant recommended chlorine dioxide, disinfectant concentration in accordance with the5ppmPreparation, i.e., chlorine dioxide per ton of water5Grams, full tank immersion2hours (including the filter media) before draining the sanitized water and rinsing with clean water.
Regarding the reopening of the tank, please strictly follow the steps of the scientific opening of the tank step by step and do it down until all the ammonia and nitrite levels tested are zero, and then invite the fish back. The process of reopening the tank takes about15-25days, which is the safer and more reliable method.
Option 2: Striped bass for water
In the absence of a way to send the fish away to be reared in lieu of the fish, the only option is to take the fish to cure the water, an option that carries a certain degree of danger, as the water at this point in time is no longer good water for fish, with high levels of toxins, and there is always the possibility of a""new tank syndrome" (medicine)", there is the possibility of dead fish. Therefore, every step of the operation must be taken with care, and all measures are centred on reducing the level of toxins with a view to minimizing the death of fish.
The Striped Bass Water Treatment Program is divided into two scenarios: one for treatment when water quality is severely polluted and the second for treatment when water quality is moderately polluted.
Treatment in case of severe water pollution:Severely polluted water is defined as water with ammonia and nitrites at a level of 0.5 mg/liter.2milligrams or more, and the water is extremely turbid.
In this kind of water, the fish must have been poisoned, and their lives will be in danger at any time, so we should take decisive measures: change the water in the whole tank, refer to the method in option 1 to clean the tank, disinfect, wash the filter material and add water. At this time, the fish can be fished out and put in a bucket, but attention should be paid to heat preservation and oxygenation. You can trap the water beforehand, or use the water in the water heater, or boil the water and pour it into the tank to quickly increase the water temperature, in short, all operations should be fast, and strive to complete all the tank operations within one day. Need to pay special attention to the fish process, must be a long time overwater, can be overwater!1-2hours to allow the fish to acclimatize to the new water quality, and never underwater the fish. Thereafter, follow the treatment measures when the water quality is moderately polluted.
Treatment of water quality when it is moderately or mildly polluted:Mildly contaminated water is defined as water with ammonia and nitrites in the range of 0.5 to 0.5 per liter.2milligrams or less, and the water is moderately to mildly turbid.
The idea of management of this water quality is to reduce the level of toxins as soon as possible, generally by doing the following4Kinds of means:
1Change the water immediately.50%, then change water daily20-30percent until the toxin test is zero, then switch to normal water changes.
2The fish are not fed for the first week of treatment, and thereafter they are fed as little as possible, with absolutely no bait residue, which is fished out as soon as it is detected. Until the toxin test is zero, switch to normal feeding of fish.
3It is important to ensure that no fecal residue can accumulate at the bottom of the tank at any time, and this is an important point that must be done. It is very important to strengthen the flow-making system so that the fish poop produced can be pumped away immediately, and if the automatic sewage disposal can not be done for the time being, it is found that it can be sucked out manually immediately after the discovery.
4The use of nitrifying bacterial preparations accelerates the progress of treatment and is recommended.emBacteria tablets and nitrifying bacteria solution, both of which can be used at the same time, are added after the first major water change, and thereafter every5added once a day until the toxin test was zero, stopping the nitrifying bacteria to use only theemNormal maintenance of water quality is sufficient.
