A peak is the peak of a mountain. What the mountain has to do now with our fish?
developed in an aquarium is a community of microorganisms, bacteria, algae and fungi that utilize the many occurring substances (uneaten food and excrement of the fish) and dying plant parts, degraded and break down most non-toxic end products.
as nitrite peak refers to the top of the NO2 concentration. This occurs when bacteria break down ammonia to nitrite first. Over time, then establish further bacteria oxidize nitrite to nitrate this. Thus, we observe an increase in nitrite concentration sufficient to eliminate bacteria that mountain.
nitrite is one of the few true poisons fish in the aquarium. This results in the degradation of nitrogenous substances in the aquarium. Since the bacteria need to form in the aquarium until a sufficient number occurs during the refurbishment of an aquarium to an increase of nitrite with subsequent waste.
It takes experience, about 14 to 22 days to observe this peak may be, provided you give the bacteria also give food. I mean that in every sense of the word. The food is broken down by microorganisms and converted. Only through this food may develop an efficient nitrifiers and microbial flora. Better yet
It is to be filled after a few days, the aquarium with the first few fish, they divorced directly from ammonia. Thus, the nitrifiers will soon their "food", can multiply and grow into a powerful population. Man
the fish should be used only by degrees, so that may adjust the amount of the bacteria to increase and the increased degradation of nitrogen-containing substances.
The fish can this poison be a problem, why should an increase of nitrite in water by changing the nitrite value was always kept below 0.5 mg / l. One often reads
, you have 3 - to wait 6 weeks before the nitrite peak is over and may only use fish. I think of this advice little, and prefer an early stocking!
