No nitrates are not needed.Mainly CO2 and water is needed
Ammonia, nitrates, nitrites
the reason smoking preserves kippers is because smoke contains nitrates which kill the bacteria, therefor preserving it.Not quite. First the herring is put in a brine solution for a while. This draws out much of the water content. The smoking part does create nitrates but nitrates do not cure. The nitrates get converted to nitrites which is the actual curing agent.
Amines + Nitrates/Nitrites = carcinogenic nitrosamines
Nitrates are essential for the production of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. In plants, nitrates are absorbed from the soil and used to synthesize proteins necessary for growth and development. Additionally, nitrates play a crucial role in the synthesis of nucleic acids, which are vital for cell division and genetic information. Overall, nitrates are critical for the overall health and productivity of both plants and animals.
Yes, the nitrates in smoked meat can be bad for you. It is said that these nitrates can cause cancer at times.
More often than not it the larger fish in your tank, check your PH and nitrates.
Water changes are the best way to lower nitrates in an aquarium. Especially when the water is changed using a gravel washer, or aquarium 'vacuum'. Fish wastes can only really be broken down into nitrates (except in special marine aquariums). So the easier way is through regular water changes.
Nitrates are a fertilizer, so when nitrates hit a pond or stream, the plants there could overtake and drain all the oxygen out of all the plants, so the plants will die. The animals living there are also affected, because for example, fish in the water could die if a water hyacinth gets nitrates because the fish in the water will not get any sunlight.
In a marine REEF aquarium nitrates should be kept as close to 0 ppm as possible. In a fish only marine aquarium you should strive to keep your nitrates below 20 ppm.
As soon as nitrates have reached zero. Don't ever change more than 20% water a week. If you have fish in the tank during the cycling process you will need to change some water if the nitrates are in the deadly range to keep your fish alive. Otherwise I recommend an additive such as Prime to keep nitrates from killing fish during cycling.
Fin rot. You will need to test your water and make sure that it's ammonia, nitrates, and nitrates are at 0, you have filtration, change your water, and then buy it some antibiotics from the fish store.
Fish bladder disease is an incurable genetic disease but a fish can live a happy life with it. However, certain factors can exaggerate the effects of the disease including a poor diet and poor water quality. Constipation is a major cause and can be cured by not feeding your fish for a few days or if your fish is an omnivore, it can be fed greens like green peas or romaine lettuce. High levels of nitrates are also a cause. Test your water for nitrates. Work on eliminating nitrates by adding live aquatic plants that feed on nitrates as well as doing regular water changes.
Because Chile sends the US copper, fish, fruit, paper, iron ore, Nitrates, wood pulp, and processed fish.
If the questions is what is the waste product of freshwater fish, then that would be ammonia. Freshwater fish product ammonia which is excreted through their gills and into their water, to keep this poisen to a minimum you need to a filter which has bacterial build up in the media which lives on ammonia and converts it into nitrite, then another group of bacteria absorb nitrite and product nitrates. Nitrates are much less dangerous to fish and some of them are used up by plants so planted tanks are much healthier for fish nitrates however do need to be kept low and weekly water changes should do that effectively.
To maintain an aquarium with no nitrates and ensure the health of your aquatic pets, you can do regular water changes, use live plants to absorb nitrates, avoid overfeeding, and properly maintain your filtration system. Monitoring water parameters regularly and keeping a balanced ecosystem will help keep nitrates low and your fish healthy.
They provide hiding places for the fish, they will take in Nitrates completing the Nitrogen cycle, and they look nice!
