The aquatic weed tank is more playful, and the threshold is higher than that of the bare tank. Play well beautiful like a fairyland, play badly directly into the suburban wasteland, the grass tank is not good, on the one hand, look at the design of the landscape, on the other hand, look at the state of water and grass.
Whether the aquatic grass grows well or not is the root of the state of the grass tank. If the aquatic grass begins to yellow, it is necessary to adjust it earlier, otherwise it may wither and rot over time.

Many people have encountered the yellowing of leaves, the main reason is not that the water is broken, but that the maintenance of the grass tank is not detailed, and the environmental standards required by the aquatic grass are not met.
This is also the same as other things in daily life, although the surface factors are completely without problems, but the details are not done well, but they delay things.

The leaves are yellow, somewhat similar to the yellow hair we had when we were young, and it may be that nutrition has not kept up. The main sources of nutrients for aquatic plants are aquatic weed mud and light. Once the leaves are yellow, the fertility of aquatic mud can be considered first.
When trace elements such as manganese, iron, magnesium and zinc are missing from the aquatic grass mud, it will cause the leaves of aquatic grass to turn yellow. The solution is also simple and clear, just buy some fertilizer. The fertilizers that can be selected on the market are base fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, root fertilizer and so on.
The use of base fertilizer may cause the water to be temporarily turbid and not mainly recommended. Liquid fertilizer cost performance is good, the market share is also considerable, the use of the method directly follows the instructions, with root fertilizer or base fertilizer effect is better.

If adding fertility does not effectively solve the problem of yellowing leaves, it is necessary to consider light. Aquatic weeds photosynthesize through light, so their dependence on light is no less than that of aquatic weed mud.
The light I give to the 60cm straw tank is about 8 hours or so. Get up in the morning to turn on the lights, use a timed socket to set the time, automatically cut off the power at about 9:30, and then go home after work in the afternoon for a few hours, the effect is quite good.
I have also encountered yellowing of leaves before, which may be insufficient light, resulting in insufficient photosynthesis of aquatic plants. It may also be that there is a negative grass that does not like light, and the light is too strong, affecting its growth environment. If it is not a negative grass and yellow leaves, determine whether it is due to too strong light, you can see whether there is algae in the tank, if there is still to weaken the light intensity.

After solving the fertility and light, the leaves are yellow, which may also be the cause of temperature. Too low a temperature will reduce the metabolism of aquatic plants, but because the temperature is too low and the phenomenon of yellow leaves is not much. Because most of the fish raised in the aquatic grass tank are tropical fish, the temperature in the fish tank needs to be maintained above 22 ° C, and once the temperature is too low, the fish will first appear bad.
Similarly, when the temperature is higher than 30 ° C, the metabolism of aquatic weeds will also decrease, eventually leading to yellow leaves. Only along with the yellow leaves, there are bacteria that are accelerating their reproduction due to high temperatures. That is to say, if the high temperature period in the summer does not cool down the fish tank, not only the growth of aquatic plants is not good, but the bacteria in the tank breed quickly, affecting the healthy life of the fish.

Fish farmers are afraid of negligence and losses. Because aquariums are not like cats and dogs that can jump around alive, they are so flexible in the choice of activity space and environment.
Every day, you can trim and cut the fish tank with a panoramic view of this mouth, feed the grain for water, and in fact, the painstaking effort is great. How much pain does it have to be in the event of a fish tank problem?
