Some beginning aquarians come up against such situation: recently changed water suddenly begins to publish the whole bouquet of prenepriyatny smells. The solution of this problem depends on the cause of stench, and exits can be a little.
Instruction
1. The first that can be made is again carefully to wash up aquarium and everything that is in it (stones, shells, decorative locks, lodges, etc.). Well wash out internal glasses as even if at first sight they seem clean, on them all the same there can be slippery raid from water. If several days later from aquarium again unpleasantly smells, it is necessary to look for the reasons in more detail.
2. At first define what smell proceeds from your aquarium. If it smells of ooze or the swamp a little, can calm down. This aroma means only what is with it and its inhabitants everything is all right. The real aquarium and has to smell – the small river.
3. If you feel completely different unpleasant aromas – rotten eggs, onions or garlic, it is necessary to take drastic measures. Some water plants can exude smell of onions. For example, if in your aquarium there live kriptokarina, such smell can appear. In this case add to them couple of bushes of ambuliya, it is a little rogolistnik and several bushes of hemiantus. The unpleasant aroma has to disappear.
4. Sewage which accumulates in the bottom of "reservoir" can be the cause of unpleasant smell - it is both waste products of fishes, and the forage remains. If aquarium too big and to wash up it completely there is no opportunity, just carry out soil sifonka. Special adaptation in the form of hose with tip on which there passes water is for this purpose used, carrying away with itself all collected dirt.
5. Together with sifonka of soil it is necessary to carry out process of partial replacement of water. This will also help to revitalize the atmosphere and to remove the substances harmful to small fishes. It is necessary to do it two times a week, at the same time it is necessary to replace from 20 to 30% of water of aquarium. It is possible to use normal tap water, but it needs to be defended within a day.
6. Define whether is enough for small fishes of oxygen. For this purpose look whether they swim close to surface, gasping for air. In this case it is necessary to buy the good air compressor which has to work constantly, providing good aeration.
