PART 30: A LITTLE MORE ON MAINTENANCE!

<< Previous Q U E S T I O N: What to do when ALGAE GROWTH goes beyond the required level?

A N S W E R: Described below is how to address this problem.

In case of excessive algae growth, which is not good for the fishes, the water of your DPM Type Natural Fishbowl I Aquarium turns green and you can hardly see the fishes. To address the problem, take the following three steps:

STEP 1. Clean walls on the inside of the Fishbowl | Fish Tank

STEP 2. Change 50% of water

STEP 3. Drastically reduce Fishbowl's | Fish Tank's exposure to light.

If the problem persists, repeat STEP 2 once in every 3 days until the problem is gone.

Q U E S T I O N: How about lighting?

A N S W E R: Here is the information about this aspect stated below:

You may use a low wattage (5 to 15 watts) electric light-bulb to see your fish or show your fish. If the Fishbowl | Fish Tank is exposed to many hours (more than 8 hours) of indirect sunlight, the electric light-bulb really becomes optional. It is ideal to offer 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light to your fishes to make the case resemble that of nature. When the electric light-bulb is switched on, it increases the temperature of the air surrounding it. The hot air goes up and cooler fresh air comes in to fill the vacuum. That's how the electric light-bulb triggers air-circulation. This process also helps, increasing the level of oxygen in the Fishbowl | Aquarium.

PLEASE do ask a question if you have one on DPM Natural Method | DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | DPM Type Natural Aquarium. Thank you for your time and interest. I wish you all the very best. Happy Fish Keeping! Here is something interesting next. NEXT >>  << Previous
