In-Depth Guide to the Nitrogen Cycle


The bacteria act as the backbone for every biological filtering process. All fish tanks needs the proper biological filter process and that would help to keep the quality of the water higher. Through this the fish can be benefited and its life span would be increased. The aquarium nitrogen cycle plays a vital role for processing and for establishing the beneficial bacteria and that would filter the medium. It would convert the ammonia to nitrate and then again it covert the nitrate to nitrates.

     The ammonium contains one part of nitrogen and 3 parts of the hydrogen and it helps to improve in the biological process.

·         The nitrate is not as harmful as ammonia but it helps for prolonged periods.
·         The nitrates are the final process which would help to filter the entire aquarium easily.

A single nitrogen cycle for fish tank requires at least fourteen days to sixty days for completing a single cycle. There is a special kid that had been used for testing the different level inside the water in the beginning when you start the process you can find the level of the ammonium would be higher. After few weeks the level of the nitrates would be in the higher level. 

You can maintain the best aquarium with the help of the nitrogen cycle


The nitrogen cycle is also known as the Nature’s waste management system which plays the dual role in maintaining both the aquatic ecosystem and in the normal aquariums. The aquatic ecosystem is an artificial effect and it is necessary for you to maintain the ammonia level in the balanced order.

          Before starting the nitrogen cycle you have to collect all the decay waste and the waste products of the fish.

·         Allow it to decay which results in the formation of the ammonium and provides the low level of oxygen inside it.

·         The bacteria would get processed into it and it would produce the nitrate the fishes could able to withstand this condition.

·         The nitrobacteria would get reacted and when it reaches the anaerobic condition it would turn as the nitrogen gas.

·        The proper water changes are necessary to dilute the nitrate within it.
If you want to make use of the effective method then you can add the starter fish which could able to withstand theses levels. Before starting the process you must know all the process which you want to carry out in the nitrogen cycle. Normally the animals waste would be converted into harmless nitrogen which would be released into the air and water. 

Once you are clear about the process which you have to take care in the fish tank then you can able to maintain the healthy aquarium. Through this you can able to gain profit by selling them to your customer because all would like only such kinds of the healthy fishes. This all the few easy steps which you can follow and make use of the nitrogen cycle for fish tank.
