ʻIke ka poʻe aquarist ʻike i ke koʻikoʻi o ka wai i loko o ka aquarium. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo i nā waiwai kūpono me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hoʻokolohua like ʻole. Pono ʻoe e hana i kēia i nā manawa maʻamau me ka nānā ʻole i kou manaʻo o ka aquarium. Akā ma ka nānā wale ʻana i kāu aquarium hiki iā ʻoe ke loiloi a ʻike inā pono ka mana pololei o ka wai i kēia manawa. ʻO nā hōʻailona ma lalo nei e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā ʻike waiwai.
Iʻa ma ka ʻili
Inā ʻauʻau kāu iʻa ma luna o ka ʻilikai a hāhā i ka ea, he hōʻailona ia! He ʻino ka maikaʻi o kou wai a ʻaʻole hiki i kāu iʻa ke hanu pono. ʻO ka ʻawaʻawa ʻo Ammonia ke kumu o kēia. Hoʻopilikia ka Ammonia i nā gills. ʻO ka hopena, hiki ʻole i ka iʻa ke lawe i ka oxygen mai ka wai. I kēlā hihia, pono ʻoe e hana i kahi hoʻololi wai 90% wikiwiki a hoʻomau i nā loli ʻāpana maʻamau i nā lā e hiki mai ana. Eia kekahi, ho'ōki i ka hānaiʻana no 3 mau lā. I ka pule aʻe, e nānā pono i kāu iʻa, e nānā i nā ʻāpana wai a me ka ʻenehana, ʻoi aku ka kānana. Eia kekahi, e nānā no ka ʻike ʻana inā "huhū" ka loko i kekahi wahi: ʻo ka iʻa make a i ʻole ka meaʻai hoʻowahāwahā ʻia e hoʻohaumia loa i ka wai. Hiki i ka nui o ka waihona i'a ke kumu o ia mau pilikia.
ʻOhuehu i loko o ka Aquarium
Inā ʻeleʻele ka wai aquarium, hiki ke loaʻa nā kumu like ʻole. ʻO ka mea i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke hewa, akā he aha ia? ʻO ka mea mua, e nānā inā e pohō nā mea paʻa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma hope o kekahi manawa, a laila he lepo wale nō ia (no ka laʻana mai ka substrate) a ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻāʻo i kou wai. Inā ʻaʻole e hele aku ke ao, he pua bacteria a infusoria paha. Me nā mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ka pua bacteria, hoʻonui koke ka bacteria i loko o nā aquarium. Hiki iā ia ke lilo i mea pōʻino maikaʻi ʻole a maikaʻi hoʻi i nā bacteria kānana, akā hiki nō hoʻi nā pathogens. I kēlā me kēia hihia, pono ʻoe e nānā i ka maikaʻi o ka wai i loko o ka aquarium, no ka mea, ʻo ka ulu ʻana o ka pahū e hōʻike ana i ka pale ʻana o ka wai. Hoʻohana like ia i ka infestation ikaika me ka infusoria. He mau holoholona unicellular kēia e like me nā amoebas, flagellates, a me nā ciliates (e laʻa me paramecia). Hoʻomaka pinepine lākou ma muli o ka pua bacteria.
Nā Diatoms i loko o ka Aquarium
Loaʻa iā ʻoe nā waihona ʻeleʻele ma nā pōhaku a me nā pani o kāu aquarium? He diatoms paha kēlā. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻaʻohe paʻakikī a paʻakikī ke wehe. Mai kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike he kiʻekiʻe loa kahi ʻāpana kūikawā i ka wai: ka waiwai silicate. ʻO ka silicate (ʻoi aku ka spelled silicate) maʻamau e hele mai i loko o ka aquarium ma o ka wai paila. ʻAʻole ia e pōʻino i ka iʻa. Akā, pono ka diatom i ka silicate no kāna envelop pūnaewele a ulu wikiwiki i ka wā e loaʻa ai ka nui. Hiki ke hoʻonāukiuki loa kēia. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻoholo ʻia ka waiwai silicate me nā hoʻonohonoho hoʻāʻo maʻamau a i ʻole nā hoʻāʻo strip. Pono kahi ho'āʻo kūikawā no kēia. Inā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka waiwai, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e wehe i ka silicate mai ka wai me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka media kānana kūikawā. A laila e hoʻopau koke ʻoe i nā diatoms maikaʻi ʻole.
ʻO ka ʻōpala ma ka ʻili o ka wai
I kekahi manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka ʻili lahilahi, waiu, ʻeleʻele ma ka ʻili o kahi aquarium. ʻO ka maʻamau kēia ma muli o ka maʻi bacteria e hoʻonui ma ka ʻili o ka wai. Hiki ke ʻike pinepine ʻia kēia ʻano ma ka hoʻonohonoho hou ʻana a ʻaʻole holo palekana i loko o nā aquarium. No laila ke ʻōlelo nei no ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka wai i loko o ka aquarium. No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka wai aquarium inā ʻoe e hana i kahi nānā i loko o kahi pahu i hoʻihoʻi ʻia. Inā pono, hiki iā ia ke kōkua i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā mea hou aku ma ka ʻili wai. He mea maʻalahi loa kēia ma ka hoʻololi iki ʻana i ke kūlana o ka puka kānana.
Hiki ke kala ʻokoʻa ka ʻili. Pili ia i ke ʻano bacteria. ʻO ka hapa nui he keʻokeʻo wale nō. Inā hoʻokani ka cyanobacteria i ko lākou hoʻokumu ʻana, hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka polū.
ʻO nā ea ma nā lau meakanu
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia i kekahi manawa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālamalama maikaʻi: Ke puka mai nei nā ʻōhū ea liʻiliʻi ma luna o nā mea kanu a ulu mālie. Ke hiki lākou i kahi nui, piʻi lākou i luna o ka wai. Inā ʻoe e nānā pono, ʻike ʻoe ua liʻiliʻi hou lākou ma ke ala i laila. Pili kēia me ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia o ke kinoea i loko o ka wai. ʻO ka mea āu e nānā ai ma laila, ua kapa ʻia ʻo photosynthesis. Me ke kōkua o ka ikehu māmā, hoʻololi ka mea kanu i ka carbon dioxide mai ka wai i loko o nā ʻōmole oxygen e ʻike ʻia ma ʻaneʻi. Hiki i kāu iʻa ke hanu i ka oxygen. Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kēia ʻike, hōʻike ia he nui ka carbon dioxide i loko o ka wai. He maikaʻi loa kēia no nā mea kanu. Akā, e makaʻala: ʻo ka nui o ka carbon dioxide e pōʻino i kāu iʻa!
E loiloi i ka maikaʻi o ka wai ma ka Aquarium
E like me kāu e ʻike ai, ʻaʻole paʻakikī ke ʻike i ke ʻano o ka wai i loko o ka aquarium. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e lilo i ace ma kemika e hana i kēia, e makaʻala wale i kāu loko. Eia naʻe, paipai mākou iā ʻoe e hoʻāʻo i ka wai i nā manawa maʻamau. ʻO nā kumu waiwai nui loa, ʻo ia ka mea e nānā pono ai ʻoe e pili ana i hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule, ʻo ia ka nitrite, nitrate, ka pH waiwai, a me ka paʻakikī o ka wai (ka paʻakikī piha a me ka paʻakikī carbonate). Eia kekahi, hiki ke kūpono nā waiwai no ka ammonium, chlorine, a me ke keleawe no ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona i ka wai aquarium. Inā hoʻopili nui ʻoe i nā mea kanu nani, e hoʻolohe i nā waiwai wai o nā mea kanu carbon dioxide, hao, magnesium, a me phosphate. Manaʻo ʻia e hana i kahi papaʻaina no ka ʻike maikaʻi ʻana. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokomo i nā waiwai wai nui i kēia. Inā ua ana ʻoe no kekahi manawa, hiki iā ʻoe ke loiloi maikaʻi i nā hanana. A pēlā e pale aku ai i kekahi o nā mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna o ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka wai.
