He ʻāina kupanaha ka aquarium i loko o kou mau pā ʻehā. ʻAʻole nā holoholona wale nō akā nā mea kanu pū kekahi i ka hana ʻana i nā idylls i lalo o ka wai maoli.
Hiki ke hoʻolālā ʻia kahi aquarium ma nā ʻano like ʻole. Hoʻolālā ʻia nā ʻano aquarium me nā iʻa kūikawā a me nā mea kanu wai i loaʻa i ko lākou wahi i kumu. Akā, ua moeʻuhane au i kahi aquarium e like me ka paradaiso, kahi māla i lalo o ka wai kahi e noho like ai nā iʻa a me nā mea kanu.
Pono ka nui o ka māmā a me ka hoʻomomona CO2 no ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻano mea kanu wai. Hoʻokumu ʻia kahi kaiapuni wai maʻemaʻe paʻa ma hope o kekahi mau mahina, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā aquarium nui. Pono nā Aquarium me nā ʻano mea kanu like ʻole i ka mālama a me ka nānā. Akā, he kumu hauʻoli hoʻi lākou.
ʻO kekahi o kaʻu aquarium he kukui me nā kukui LED. Hoʻomālamalama au i ka loko ʻelua mika me nā kukui 30-watt ʻehā. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā kukui HQI mua, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka mālama mana nui. Ma waho aʻe o ka lepo momona, pono nā mea kanu wai i ka CO2 i ka lā e ulu maikaʻi. Hāʻawi ka iʻa i ka CO2 a hanu i ka oxygen i hana ʻia e nā mea kanu wai i ka lā ma o kā lākou gills. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā mea kanu wikiwiki e mālama ʻia, pono ʻoe i ka fertilization CO2. Loaʻa nā ʻōnaehana maʻalahi e hoʻohana i nā hale kūʻai holoholona i hiki ke hoʻomalu ʻia ma o ke kukui kukui a hoʻopau ʻia i ka pō.
Pono e hoʻomālamalama mau ʻia kahi aquarium tropical no ka liʻiliʻi he ʻumi hola i ka lā. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, pono e hoʻokomo ʻia kahi mea kanu wai i loko o ka substrate, kahi i loaʻa i nā ʻiliʻili aquarium i kūʻai ʻia. Ma hope, hiki ke hoʻomomona ʻia kekahi mau mea kanu me nā pōpō pālolo. Hana ʻia ka fertilization hao me ka fertilizer wai. He paʻakikī mau ka manawa hoʻomaka, akā ma hope o kekahi mau mahina, hiki i kahi equilibrium.
ʻOiai ko lākou ʻano kumu like ʻole, noho like ka iʻa me kekahi i kekahi
Hoʻoulu au i nā ʻano ʻano Echinodorus like ʻole. ʻO kēia mau mea kanu pahi kaua Amazon he nani loa a he nui nā lau ʻulaʻula i kekahi manawa, ma muli o ka pua. Hoʻopiha ʻia ka substrate ma ka ʻaoʻao mua me ka mea kanu pahi kaua Amazon liʻiliʻi loa, ʻo Echinodorus tenellus. Akā hāʻawi pū ʻo Sagittaria terres i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma waena. Me nā lau ʻulaʻula, elongated, ʻo Aponogeton Crispus kahi ʻokoʻa maikaʻi i ka ʻano Hygrophila ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Ke ulu wikiwiki nei kēia "aloha wai" a pono e ʻoki ʻia a kanu hou ʻia no ka mea makemake mākou e hoʻolālā i kahi aquarium kanu ʻia i kiʻi i ulu nā mea kanu mai mua a hope.
No kēia, ua hana au i nā ʻāina me nā aʻa pinewood bog. ʻO kahi ʻano Crinum hoʻokahi e ʻike maka me kona mau lau lōʻihi a haiki. ʻO kekahi ʻano ʻokoʻa, ʻo ia ka ʻano lilia wai me kona mau lau ʻulaʻula, pono e ʻoki pinepine ʻia i ʻole lākou e lawe i ka mālamalama mai nā ʻano ʻē aʻe. ʻOkoʻa nō hoʻi nā lālā filigree o ka Limnophila Aquatica ma ʻaneʻi me nā lau lilia wai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia.
He ʻoluʻolu nō hoʻi ka iʻa i loko o ia aquarium. He mea maopopo ʻaʻole au e mālama i nā iʻa e lua, e like me ka cichlids a i ʻole nā mea ʻai mea kanu. He iʻa maluhia lākou ʻaʻole i hoʻokumu i nā ʻāina a noho like me kekahi i kekahi, ʻoiai ke hele mai lākou mai nā wahi ʻokoʻa loa. Ua mālama au i ʻelima clown loaches i loko o kēia pahu no nā makahiki he 20, a me nā mea ʻai limu laina ʻulaʻula, nā mea ʻai limu Siamese, nā iʻa ānuenue (Melanotaenia affinis), nā loaches ʻupena, nā loaches dwarf a i ʻole checkerboard, a me nā huelo pahi he nui e hana hou iā lākou iho. No laila ua hoʻokō ʻia koʻu moeʻuhane o ka paradaiso i lalo. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo hou i kahi hale me ka ʻole o ka aquarium.
