Anyone that keeps a Fish tank will know the importance of checking the water quality. Although the water might look clear and you can see your fish, this does not mean all is well in the tank. Unlike a river or lake, a fish tank is an enclosed volume of water. Any waste products created in the tank have nowhere to go unless adequately treated. This can lead to problems for the fish and other aquatic life that lives in the tank. The treatment of waste products is essentially what the nitrogen cycle is all about.
Waste products in a tank could consist of rotting plants, uneaten fish food or excrement from fish. As these substance decompose they create a gas called ammonia. Ammonia is a toxic substance for many living creatures, including fish. In small volumes in an enclosed space, like a fish tank, ammonia will kill a fish.
Ammonia is the start of the nitrogen cycle. Bacteria within the fish tank will convert ammonia to nitrites. This bacteria is known as Nitrosomonas. Nitrites are less toxic to fish but are still harmful if they are concentrated in one area for any length of time.
The second stage of the nitrogen cycle is when another bacteria, the Nitrobacter, oxidizes nitrites to form nitrates. Essentially the bacteria adds an oxygen atom to nitrites to change the compound to a nitrate which dissolves in water. Nitrates are considerable less harmful than the other two substances. This is the end process of the nitrogen cycle. It takes harmful waste products and changes them through to action of bacteria into substances that are less harmful to fish.
This process of making waste products less harmful for your fish is increased if you change the water regularly. Bacteria can be bought from a pet shop or you can allow the bacteria to grow naturally in your tank. This is the best option but it takes longer to get the tank to a state where you can keep a number of fish safely.
To grow the bacteria naturally, you simply inhabit your tank with a couple of hardy fish. They will excrete and leave food that will cause the bacteria to occur. Over time the bacteria will grow in number and be able to handle more waste. As the capacity of the bacteria grows so to can your fish population. Over about 6 weeks your aquarium will be up and running and you can add more fish.
Remember to always check the water quality to ensure that the water is safe and habitable for your fish. Also, know the maximum population of fish for the size of your tank so that you don't overpopulate the tank and destroy the ecosystem.
