The Love For Nature = The Love For Nature Aquarium

Nature

I feel however , that a deep love for nature , natural scenery, and the
desire to have a piece of it in ones home or office , is a concept that 
exists in everybody , irrespective of culture and race.The nature 
aquarium began as an aquaristic respond to this desire. It is an art form
like painting , gardening or photography in which it requires a person to 
create a natural ecosystem , in all its natural beauty and efficiency , in 
a glass aquarium.

Understanding About The Nature Aquarium Ecosystem



Another thing, borrowed from nature and used in the natural aquarium - is the concept of the ecosystem. Ecosystem - is the relationship between plants, animals and the environment that exists in nature. Inside the system takes the energy and circulate materials. On the concept of ecosystem all living creatures are divided into producers, consumers and bioreduktorov. In the natural aquarium, this division belongs to the aquarium plants, fish and microorganisms. Producer is hlorofita, which is involved in photosynthesis, as well as aquarium plants. Aquatic plants grow through photosynthesis and release oxygen into the water. Fish and organisms use oxygen for respiration. Consumers - are mostly living creatures that eat plants and other animals. The aquarium is mostly fish, feed that should be given aquarists. Bioreduktory - this is, basically, microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. They maintain good water quality, processing the waste of fish and remnants of food, and aquarium supply of plant nutrients. Environment and natural aquarium is stabilized, when the aquarium plants, fish and microorganisms coexist in harmony.

Method Of Cycling A New Tank

Fish Less Cycling?
Unlike the usual method, fish less cycling allows you to mature the system without placing fish under stress from polluted water. It means you won't have to choose hardy fish that you might not otherwise want to keep. And, if done correctly, it could allow you to reach a higher stocking density quicker and more safely than the conventional method.


How do I get started?
Most people opt for an inorganic fish less cycling technique. This basically involves adding a nitrogenous solution, like ammonia, to the tank at regular intervals for the bacteria to break down. Arguably, organic material, such as a piece of fish or some fish food would be the ideal thing to use, since it would also encourage the growth of the heterotrophic bacteria that break down organic matter into ammonia. These might not be present in the same numbers if you cycle inorganically.


We suggest using ADA's ( Bacter 100) and (Green Bacter). Unlike most other products for cycling new tanks this powerful biological supplement which rapidly matures new aquariums and filters. It's designed to make the tank mature any quicker. Ideally to give the filter a kick-start.


The food source needs to be added at regular intervals throughout the cycling process.

Do It Right The First Time

The most important in setting up planted aquarium is creating a live substrate.
What is live substrate?
What are the conditions for nurturing aquatic plants well ? We think it is necessary to create an environment close to the ecosystem of our Mother Nature in the substrate system. Various microorganisms exist in the natural habitat, having a symbiotic relation with each other.Aquatic Plants in a natural habitat absorb nutrients, generated by microorganism activity from their roots, and create substance constructing their body. Microorganisms also take in secreted substance from plant roots and degrade the substance for turning into a sources of energy. The degraded substance is again absorbed by plant roots. Such relationship between roots and microorganisms is functioning in an environment where abundant nature still exists, however those relationship is not functioning under modern agriculture method, using chemical fertilizer.
Generally, crop cultivated under modern agricultural method is vulnerable to pests, and environmental change. The stability, in the natural ecosystem, does not exist there.
This idea can be applied to the planted aquarium, and the substrate Nature Aquarium substrate was developed based on this theory. Water plants can grow well in a symbiotic relation between plant roots and microorganisms, and this relationship stabilizes the aquarium environment. Oxygen is indispensable for microorganism to propagate themselves, and for this reason, the substrate must be water permeable. It is also important for the roots. Live substrate is only possible with existence of good quality nutrients, abundant with organic matters to be degraded by microorganism. Power Sand makes this idealistic substrate possible.
