    5 - To introduce the fish

    1. to extinguish the light of the Aquarius and to open the transport bag;

    2. to attend 5 minuteren

    3. to slowly pour little water of the Aquarius in the envelope;

    4. to repeat this the operation for 10 times approximately, 1 time to the minute;

    5. to attend 5 minuteren;

    6. with a retino to fish the fish delicately the envelope and to insert them in the Aquarius, the water of the envelope does not have to be poured in the Aquarius.

    7. to attend 1 hour approximately, therefore to ignite the light.

    Chemistry of the Aquarius

    The degree of acidity of the water measure with the value of the ph is come measured in degrees ela its conventional scale goes from 0° to 14°. The value of the ph from 0° to 7° comes defined acid, a value from 7° to 14° comes defined alkaline. The value of 7° is considered neutral. The value of the ph in sweet water Aquarius the tropical must be next to the 7° (neutral), however oscillate between 6,5° (for waters holding, hard Discus) and 7,5°(per waters, es. ciclidi Africans). 

    Index

    Closely correlated to the Ph value and the value of the carbonatica hardness it is the quantitative one of carbon dioxide disciolto in the water; in fact greater it will be the carbonatica hardness (Kh) greater must be the quantitative one of carbon dioxide disciolta in the water in order to maintain the next value ph to the optimal values of sweet water Aquarius a tropical (6,5 - 7,5).

    The carbonatica or temporary hardness indicates the content of charges of coal of soccer and magnesium disciolti in the water. The measurements come carried out in German degrees, and the optimal value in sweet water Aquarius a tropical is comprised between 3° (waters a lot to hold) and 7° (hard waters medium). The value of kh influences directly on the value of the ph of the Aquarius.

    Index

    The hardness total indicates the total of knows them disciolti in the water comes measured in German degrees, and the optimal value for sweet water Aquarius a tropical is comprised between 6° and 14°.

    The nitrites  are the first step of the transformation of the ammonia, do not have to be present in the water of the Aquarius.

    The nitrates are the last step of the "cycle of nitrogen", and stretch to accumulate themselves in the Aquarius. They are not dangerous as nitrites but to values it elevates to you  can become it (+ 100 mg/lt).

    It knows them of ortofosforico acid, optimal fertilizing substance, stretch to accumulate in the Aquarius being favored the increase of the alghe.

    The metabolic refusals of the fish (urine I made) and the decomposition of organic substances (food) produces knows them of ammonium NH4+ which are transformed in ammonia NH3, highly toxic substance for the fish. The transformation of the ammonia in nitrites happens for means of bacteria of the sort Nitrosomonas. To they it turns nitrites come elaborates to you from bacteria of the sort Nitrobacter that transform them in nitrates. To this point in an atmosphere  lacking in oxygen the nitrates come transform to you in gaseous nitrogen N2 completing the cycle.
