水族箱照料常识
1.主要设备：过濾器，加热管（冷水鱼不需）和照明系统。
2.水温控制：热带鱼22℃～26℃，冷水鱼5℃～30℃。七彩神仙鱼28℃～30℃。
3.PH:多数鱼在PH6.5～7.5之间都能生长良好，超出此范围应用PH-Up或Down来调整。
4.水的总硬度：要求不严，BC省自来水均为软水(<8德国度),所以不用理会。
5.水中漂白粉：水加入鱼缸前，至少放置两天，让水中大部分的有毒氯气挥发掉，并按比例加入Aqua Plus后才能加入鱼缸中。
6.换水周期：视鱼缸大小和鱼的密度而定，一般每一至四周必需换掉四分之一的水。缸小，鱼密就得勤换水。
7.养鱼密度：按每升水可以养1cm的鱼一条来参考，如38升（10Gal)的水,可以养1cm小鱼38条或5cm的鱼7～8条。
8.喂鱼方法：一般每天两次，投食量以鱼在2分钟内能吃完为宜。
9.照明时间:每天开灯5～10小时，晚上必需关灯，让鱼休息。
10.病鱼处理：发现病鱼，死鱼应及时隔离处理，以免传染。平时可在鱼缸中加些水族专用盐预防，一般10Gal水可加盐20～30克。
10 Basic Rules For A Successful Aquarium
1.Provide regular, varied, feeding for fish. Feed two to three times per day, the amount consumed in approximately two minutes (for most fish).
2.Keep fish populations within reasonable limits.
3.Follow the daily, weekly, and monthly checklist below.
4.Select fish that enjoy similar temperatures, water chemistry, are compatible with respect to behavior, and occupy different levels of the aquarium.
5.When choosing filtration, consider contact time, filter media volume, and factors which affect filter output.
6.Incorporate live plants whenever possible.
7.Choose the largest aquarium possible. Volume equals stability and greater flexibility in choices.
8.Stable conditions are important. Following the provided checklist will help achieve this.
9.Try to plan your aquarium set-up. Select plants, rocks, wood, gravel, and other décor which are complementary.
10.Enjoy the hobby! Use it as an experience to learn about a fascinating underwater world.
Maintenance Tips
1 Never change more than 40% of aquarium water at a time.
2 Never empty the entire aquarium to clean it. This causes undue stress on fish and will disturb the biological balance of your aquarium.
3 Only change half of your filter media at a time, to retain the established biological balance.
4 NEVER use soap or any detergent on your aquarium or any products used in or around your aquarium.
5 When cleaning the inside glass of your aquarium, avoid picking up pieces of gravel, as this will scratch the glass.
6 Limit the amount of times you put your hands in the water. Oils and films may cause stress in fish. It is preferable to use the Marina Multi-Tool.
Maintenance Checklist
Daily:
❒ Perform a visual check of the aquarium inhabitants to make sure that none of them are sick, hurt, or acting strangely.
❒ Check that all the equipment is working properly (filters, heaters, lighting, etc.).
❒ Remove any dead fish, plants, or obvious debris (such as plant leaves attached to intake strainer of filter).
Weekly:
❒ Perform a partial water change, 5 to 10% is recommended. Use a gravel washer to clean trapped waste from the gravel. Partial water changes on a regular basis will provide stable water quality and maintain ideal conditions.
❒ Clean the glass inside and outside. This will eliminate any algae, and ensure full viewing pleasure.
❒ Clean fluorescent tube (s) and fixture. This will maintain consistent light levels.
❒ Test the aquarium water.
Monthly:
❒ Check supplies, food, water conditioners and all other regularly used items.
❒ Perform filter maintenance and replace filter media as per manufacturer's recommendations and in accordance with the results of your water test.
