HOW TO HANDLE FISH hard water


Hardness handling

If your water is too hard to fish or plants, the water can dilunakan. Many ways can be done to reduce hardness. It is best to use a reverse osmosis (RO) or deioniser (DI). Unfortunately this method is included in the method expensive. Results of reverse osmosis will have a hardness = 0, therefore this water needs to be mixed with tap water in such a way so as to achieve the required hardness value.

Commercial water softener resin can be used on a small scale, though not effectively used for large scale. Commercial products processing water for domestic use is generally not suitable, because they often use the principle of exchange of cations in the process. In this prosoes sodium (Na) is generally used as an ion exchanger, so the sodium will eventually accumulate on the results of processed water. Excess sodium (Na) in the aquarium water is undesirable.

Dilution using distilled water (distilled water / distilled water) can also be used to reduce hardness.
Naturally decrease can also be done by using the services of organic acids (humic / fulvik), the acid function exactly as seen in the deionization process by capturing ions from water on gusus carbonyl groups contained in the organic acids (farm ). Some media that contains organic acids which are derived from Spagnum peat (peat moss), leaves ketapan, Oak bark, etc..

Process with peat and other organic material will usually produce brown color water like tea water. Before the peat used to be boiled in advance is recommended, so that organisms undesirable missing.

Lowers hardness can also be done by planting "duck weed" or Egeria densa.

To increase the hardness can be done by providing decorations made ​​from limestone, such as tufa or coral sand. Or by passing water through the broken marble (marble stone) or other calcareous materials.
