Fish POO in the water. That is the reason why filters and water changes are both necessary if you wish to keep fish successfully. The filters use bacteria to remove the ammonia and nitrite which are bi products of fish pooing and breathing in the water. The syphoning off from the bottom of the tank removes the decomposing detrious (including Phosphates). Whatever is left can usually be used up by healthy growing plant life in a balanced aquarium.
What else can I help you with?
Why would you want to use aquarium water to water your plants?
Aquarium water is generally more rich in nutrients such as phosphate and nitrate than tap water, and these serve as food for your plants. Basically aquarium water acts as a mild, natural plant fertilizer
How does a phosphate reactor work?
A phosphate reactor is a device used in aquariums to remove excess phosphates from the water. It typically contains phosphate-absorbing media, such as iron oxide or granular ferric oxide, that traps phosphates from the water as it passes through the reactor. This helps to maintain optimal water quality and prevent algae blooms in the aquarium.
What can cause blindess in aquarium fish?
The most common cause is bad water conditions. (Insufficient water changes/poor filtration etc.)
What is cause for a white molly to float in the aquarium?
It could be due to illness, or poor water quality
How do you mix Trisodiium Phosphate with water do you put water on Trisodiium Phosphate or put Trisodiium Phosphate in water?
I would add water to the trisodium phosphate. If it were an acid, then I would add the acid to the water.
Why are detergents phosphate-free now?
Detergents are phosphate-free now to reduce water pollution. Phosphates can cause algal blooms in water bodies, leading to ecological imbalances and harming aquatic life. Phosphate-free detergents are more environmentally friendly and help protect water ecosystems.
What can phosphate cause?
Phosphate can cause nutrient imbalances in aquatic systems, leading to excessive plant growth (eutrophication) and harmful algal blooms. It can also contribute to the degradation of water quality and pose a risk to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
Can you boil the water for aquarium?
No, because if you boil a water and put it in the aquarium the tendency is the aquarium will crack.;) SO EASY!
Is garden soil ok for an aquarium?
Garden soil is not suitable for an aquarium (tropical or cold water aquariums). The soil will pollute and cloud the water with soil particles, debris and live organisms that could cause disease to the fish. Only use special aquarium equipment and ingredients: washed gravel, etc.
Monoammonium phosphate Diammonium hydrogen phosphate among these which is more soluble in water?
Diammonium hydrogen phosphate is more soluble in water compared to monoammonium phosphate. This is because diammonium hydrogen phosphate has two ammonium ions, which increases its overall solubility in water.
What kind of damage does phosphate cause?
Excess phosphate can cause eutrophication in bodies of water, leading to harmful algal blooms and oxygen depletion, which can harm aquatic life. Phosphate can also contribute to nutrient pollution in water sources, impacting ecosystems and human health. In soil, high levels of phosphate can disrupt nutrient balance, affecting plant growth and potentially leading to environmental degradation.
Would high phosphate levels in a fish tank kill a sea urchin?
Fortunately phosphates do not directly harm your fish, even at high levels. However, the algae blooms that result from elevated phosphates can ultimately cause problems for the aquarium inhabitants. For instance, green water can deplete the oxygen, which in turn can harm the fish.
