Few other cycles in nature are same as water cycle. These are carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle etc.

Should you put all your fish in the aquarium at the same time?

That is a question with a complicated answer but I'll try and be brief to allow you to do some additional research. The first and most important thing is ensuring you have allow your tank to complete it's nitrogen cycle. A quick google search on "cycling an aquarium" will walk you through this process. Now the the heart of your question, and why it's not a simple yes or no. Most people now practice what is called the "fishless" cycle, which employs some means of introducing ammonia into your aquarium to begin the nitrogen cycle. Most (not all) fishless cycled methods call for you to add your entire stocking list at the same time. However a "fish in" cycle in which special hardy species are fish are used to cycle the aquarium requires you to slowly stock the tank after the nitrogen cycle has completed.


What cycle occurs in the aquarium?

Nitrogen Cycle occurs in the aquarium.Fish produce ammonia which is toxic. In a well established aquarium, Some beneficial bacteria will break down the ammonia into nitrite, and a second species of bacteria will break down nitrite into less harmful nitrate. The whole process of converting ammonia into nitrite and then into nitrate is called nitrogen cycle.Although, only well established fish tanks have this nitrogen cycle going normally.For new aquariums, fish keepers must do fishless nitrogen cycle before they add any fish at all, or the fish will risk dying to ammonia poisoning due to insufficient amount of good bacteria. The whole fishless nitrogen cycle process can take 6~8 weeks.


What are some similarities between carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle?

both cycles transfer either carbon or nitrogen from the ocean to the atmosphere or from the atmosphere to the ocean.

How do both biotic an abiotic elements involved in the nitrogen cycle?

Best Answer - Chosen by VotersThe only abiotic element in the nitrogen cycle I know of is lightning. Lightning bind nitrogen and some other stuff to form nitrates. There are certain bacteria, primarily found on the roots of legumes, that also partake in nitrogen fixation. Then there are all the other organisms that utilize this nitrogen and eventually release it back into the cycle.


What nitrogen cycle consist of?

This is when people with nitrogen tanks ride around with them on their bicycles. It consists of a lot of peddling, some balance, and a lot of swearing.


Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?

Some bacteria have the ability to "fix" nitrogen, that is they can utilize gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen to produce organic compounds. (They can all break down compounds to free nitrogen too.)
