Fazem O Ciclo Do Azoto ( Nitrogénio ) Com Ou Sem Peixes ?

Faço minhas as palavras do Diesel_Car, mas acrescento-lhe uma coisa..para acelerares a colonização das bacterias do filtro adiciona CYCLE da NUTRAFIN todos os dias, é um bom produto eu mesma já usei e com excelentes resultados. Continuas a adicionar um pouco de comida para os peixes "fantasma" e em 10/15 dias ou menos tens a água preparada para receber os primeiros habitantes de preferência começa pelos mais resistentes. As bactérias do filtro reproduzem-se aos milhões de cada vez por isso o processo de colonização é rápido.

Boa sorte banana rock

Ola de novo

 

 

Bem andei a ver noutro forum e discutiu-se a mesma coisa... talvez ajude, está em inglês Aqui

 

 

E so um reparo o titulo do topico esta Ozoto e escreve-se Azoto banana rock

Cycling the planted tank, more information...

 

First things first. Cycling a tank means building up a colony of beneficial bacteria to convert Ammonia to Nitrite to Nitrate. If you are going to have fish in your tank you need to do some type of cycling. The traditional way to cycle a tank was to set it up and then add a very light fish load of very hardy fish to the tank to add ammonia (fish waste) to the tank to build up the bacteria. Some people would seed the tank with filter material, gravel, or mulm (the gunk in the gravel) from an established tank or place a used sponge filter into the new tank. The drawback to this method was that it took several weeks. At the end of that time one could slowly add fish till the desired fish load was achieved. Then about three years ago a fishless cycling technique became the rage. This involved setting up a tank and adding liquid ammonia to it till the bacteria were established. One had to do daily ammonia, then nitrite, the nitrate tests to see if the tank was coming along. If one had access to seed material it was possible to cycle a tank in less than two weeks. Without the seed material it took almost as long as the old way. And once you had cycled the tank you could add your fish. This method worked pretty well for the most part. One could do a fishless cycle with a planted tank but the chances are the plants would use the ammonia before the bacteria got to it. This means that the bacteria load would increase very slowly if at all.

 

Then it was discovered that by setting up a tank and filling it full of fast growing stem plants that one could add a medium to large fish load all at once and never see the traditional ammonia or nitrite spikes. The reason for this is simple. The plants love ammonia. So it never gets a chance to kill the fish. Also the plants come covered in beneficial bacteria that will start the traditional cycle. One advantage of this is that you are going to have a lot of stem plant trimmings to trade at the local fish store or send to your friends.

 

It is suggested that one use two bunches (4-6 stems each) of plants for each five gallons of water. Plants to use include Foxtail, Hygro (any color), Creeping Charlie, Red Ludwigia, Moneywort, Wisteria, Egeria, Shinnersia rivularis, (Mexican Oakleaf) or Water Sprite. Then after a couple of months one can start removing the stem plants and adding the other plants that you want.

 

Detailed instructions.

 

- Setup the tank.

 

- Add the hardware, filter, heater, etc.

 

- Fill the tank and let it run for at least 24 hours to be sure things are working correctly and you have no leaks.

 

- After this time drain the water down till the tank is 1/2 to 1/3 full (not needed on smaller tanks). Then plant your plants. It's a lot easier to plant them when the tank is not as full. Note that this applies to larger tanks more than smaller tanks.

 

- Refill the tank.

 

- Turn on the lights and wait a couple of days.

 

- Then add some fish and start fertilizing.

 

- After about 2 weeks you will need to trim the plants. If you have enough plants you will not have much of an algae problem. Don't be though if you get a diatom (brown algae) bloom, I have yet to be able to bypass it.

 

- Keep up with the fertilizing and trimming.

 

- Do test the water for ammonia and nitrate. I have yet to see any detectable ammonia using the method but there is always first time. You may never see any nitrate levels either. This means you have enough plants in the tank and you need to dose nitrates.

 

- Keep up with normal water changes and other maintenance and after a couple months you can start removing sections of the stem plants and replacing them with your aquascape.

No meu caso já tenho o aqua em ciclagem á 15 dias (com 3 peixes) e nem vestigios de Amónia, Nitritos ou mesmo Nitratos (nunca tive). Tenho o aqua razoávelmente plantado e estou a pensar em colocar já os peixes definitivos (aos poucos é claro!).
