In summer, high temperatures, fish eat fiercely, pull a lot of ammonia nitrogen in the water soared. The high temperature makes the proportion of highly toxic ammonia (molecular ammonia) increase greatly, and the fish are like taking a poisonous bath, which is very easy to be poisoned.
In addition to ammonia and nitrogen rely on nitrifying bacteria, but they are "oxygen maniac", lack of oxygen will strike. High temperature makes the water difficult to dissolve oxygen, the fish respiration becomes faster plus bacteria oxygen consumption surged. Without oxygen pump, the oxygen in the water is not enough for nitrifying bacteria to "detoxify".
Powerful oxygen pump = "charging treasure" for nitrifying bacteria. Oxygen enough, nitrifying bacteria can be fully opened, the toxic ammonia nitrogen into low toxicity nitrate, oxygen is the antidote for fish.
Fish floating head, daze, do not eat, body congestion, do not just take it as "hot and stuffy", probably ammonia nitrogen poisoning. If you don't turn on the oxygenation in summer, it is the same as sending the fish to the road! Check the power of the aerator pump, select according to the water body, rather big than small. The air stone is cleaned regularly to ensure that the bubbles are rolling, so that the oxygen can be sent to the end. It is recommended to turn on the oxygenation 24 hours a day.
