1,Does germicidal lamp kill nitrifying bacteria?
Nitrifying bacteria are divided into two types: flagellated and non-flagellated. Most of the nitrifying bacteria with flagella will be attached to the filter media and cotton, so they are not affected by the germicidal lamp. On the contrary, the germicidal lamp is mainly free in the water without flagellated nitrifying bacteria, these bacteria in the water treatment process is relatively small, can not effectively decompose toxic substances.
2, germicidal lamps open time every day to use germicidal lamps a few hours is enough, so that you can avoid the adverse effects on the nitrification system of the aquarium water body, to maintain its sound state, but also to save energy and extend the service life of germicidal lamps. As the germicidal lamp is made of special material, reasonable use of time can effectively protect its performance and ensure long-term stable sterilization effect. Therefore, it is recommended to use germicidal lamps moderately every day to maintain the health and stability of the aquarium water quality.
3, germicidal lamp wattage selection in the choice of germicidal lamps, should be based on the actual size of the fish tank and the need for a reasonable match to ensure that it plays the best results. For the general 1-meter long fish tank, it is recommended to choose the power of 6-9 watts of germicidal lamps, so that the power size is moderate, not only to meet the basic needs of sterilization, but also to effectively prevent the growth of algae. If the power is too small, may not be able to achieve the desired sterilization effect, affecting the maintenance of fish tank water quality.
4, the impact of water flow fast and slow on the germicidal lamp we use germicidal lamp disinfection, it is recommended to reduce the water pump flow rate to ensure that the water flow is as slow as possible. In this way, each drop of water can be irradiated by the germicidal lamp for a longer period of time, thus improving the sterilization effect. Too fast water flow may lead to part of the water droplets failed to fully contact the germicidal lamp light, affecting the sterilization effect.
5, do not use the germicidal lamp when the drug is placed Although it is impossible to fully determine whether the chemical reaction between the germicidal lamp and the drug used will occur, in order to ensure the health and safety of fish, it is recommended that the germicidal lamp be temporarily turned off during the casting of the drug.
