The ornamental fish tank has now become the favorite of many fish lovers. There are also many equipments that need to be equipped for fish farming in the ornamental fish tank. The UV led is one of them. The purpose of sterilization is also one of the common aquarium equipment.The use of fish tank UV led is something that many consumers need to know.
When to use the fish tank UV Germicidal lamp?
Fish tank burst bacteria
The fish tank burst bacteria generally manifests as the water body changes from clear to turbid in a short period of time.UV Germicidal lamps can be used to inhibit the reproduction of bacteria or kill bacteria after the fish tank water body explodes.In this case,you can change part of the water,turn on the UV germicidal lamp for 2 hours,and add nitrifying bacteria after turning off the lamp to improve.
There are many reasons for the fish tank to explode,such as:too many fish,excessive amount of organic matter produced by feeding and fish excretion,which leads to the proliferation of heterotrophic bacteria,or a large number of cleaning of filter materials at one time can cause the fish tank to explode.
Green water
Green water is mainly caused by too much chlorella in the water body. Chlorella will multiply in a fish tank with direct sunlight,and its reproduction speed is very fast,In fact,green water is not harmful to ornamental fish,but it will greatly affect the viewing and appearance.
Therefore,many aquarists will try their best to eliminate chlorella after finding that the fish tank appears green.In this case,the best effect of using germicidal lamps is that UV germicidal lamps can not only inhibit the reproduction of chlorella,but also kill it,especially at night,when chlorella is particularly active during the day,but at night its various functions will When there is a trough,the use of germicidal lamps at this time will have a multiplier effect.Use every night for a few days,and the green water condition will be significantly improved.
It is worth noting that the use of the UV germicidal lamp will convert the less toxic nitric acid in the water into highly toxic nitrous acid.Therefore,the water inlet and outlet of the germicidal lamp must be differentThe water inlet is behind the filter material and the water outlet is before the filter material,so that in the water The nitrous acid produced by the nitric acid after passing through the germicidal lamp can be immediately converted back to nitric acid through the filter material.That is to say,please do not use germicidal lamps in new tanks for the time being to ensure safety.
Precautions for the use of UV germicidal lamps
1.The germicidal lamps cannot be placed directly in the fish tank, nor can it be placed with the filter equipment.Because it will harm the fish, it will also kill the nitrifying bacteria in the tank.It is best to place the germicidal lamp at the water outlet of the fish tank,that is,let the water pass through the germicidal lamp before filtering,and then pass through the filter equipment after disinfection.It is usually placed in the filter tank or filter box of the fish tank.If conditions permit,a low-power pump should also be equipped with the germicidal lamp,and try to let the reclaimed water in the fish tank pass through the germicidal lamp,so that it can play its role in sterilizing and removing algae most effectively.
The placement of the sterilization lamp for the upper filter fish tank:
A. The upper filter turnover box is recommended to be placed on the first floor.If the turnover box is designed with a sterilization lamp placement position,it should be placed in the designated position.
B. The upper filter box is recommended to be placed in the water space of the base.
C. The final choice for the upper filter fish tank is to put it in the fish tank.It is recommended to put it on the bottom and place it in a place where the water flow is relatively quiet.
Bottom filter fish tank germicidal lamp placement position:
A. Hidden inside the overflow baffle,the overflow baffle is a natural shading plate.
B. Stick it near the water pump.
Pay attention to choose the required power according to the size of the water body.
Different power germicidal lamps correspond to different volumes of water.If the power is too small,the effect is not ideal,and if the power is too large,it will be a waste.
2.The UV germicidal lamps of fish tanks generally have suitable power,but the germicidal lamps of fish ponds are difficult to choose.Therefore,the water body of fish ponds is too large,and there is little suitable power,and the outdoor environment has many bacteria and more active algae.According to the water volume of the fish pond,the power of the germicidal lamp can be split and then distributed in different corners for use.
3.The UV germicidal lamp does not need to be turned on 24 hours a day.For general water quality,it is recommended to use it for 1.5 hours a day.Poor water quality is recommended to use 4 hours a day.Open for a long time will have a certain impact on the beneficial bacteria in the fish tank.
Germicidal lamps mainly rely on UV rays to play a sterilizing effect,and ultraviolet(UV) rays are also harmful to the human body.Therefore,when using germicidal lamps,be careful not to directly irradiate fish and human skin,especially the eyes,otherwise it will cause damage.
4.If the potion is being put in the fish tank to treat fish diseases, please turn off the germicidal lamp.This is to avoid adverse reactions to ultraviolet rays and drugs.
5.Need to pay attention to the service life of germicidal lamps
As long as it is a lamp, it has a service life. If the service life exceeds the service life, the weakening of the light is inevitable. It is recommended to replace it in time.
AGUA Topone UV led is more secure against water leakage and electricity leakage.At the same time,the UV led transmittance is high and the sterilization rate is stronger.The waterproof design can be used for diving, and the integrated all-silicon sealing head is highly waterproof and has a patent.It only takes 2 hours a day to eliminate harmful bacterial pathogens,solve bacterial problems from the root cause,inhibit harmful bacteria in water,prevent bacterial reproduction and algae growth, reduce fish disease rate,and keep water clear.
