THE BASICS OF SUPPLYING NUTRIENTS TO YOUR PLANTED AQUARIUM
The environment within the aquarium and condition of the aquatic plant is not constant but changes over time. The aquatic plants will grow beautifully if you carefully select and add liquid fertilizer according to their condition.
We will talk about what and when we should add to our planted aquarium in coming weeks.
Part 1. Daily Supply
Right after setup, the aquarium water contains excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. 2-3 months after setup when the aquatic plants have spread their roots and start growing vigorously, the aquarium will usually face a lack of iron, one of the trace elements which help to maintain leaf color, due to the vigorous absorption of nutrients by the growing plants. When about one year has lapsed, the aquarium water becomes increasingly acidic.
The liquid fertilizer which contains different balances of trace elements commensurate with such changes in the aquarium environment is the Green Brighty STEP series. Be sure to use Brighty K together with this fertilizer series for potassium supplementation which always falls short in the tank, unlike nitrogen and phosphorus.
Here is recommended fertilizers based on the age of the aquarium. we will take a closer look at each item, next week:
After setup - 3rd month Green Brighty STEP1 + Brighty K
3rd month - 1 year Green Brighty STEP2 + Brighty K After 1 year Green Brighty STEP3

    Obvious changes in my ecocolumn are the growth of the plants. They have grown substantially and look healthy. This is probably because they are getting optimal amounts of sunlight and water. Also the fish is very active, although the water is a bit murky due to fish waste and soil leaking into the water when the plants are watered.…

    Both the fish and plant do not need much caring for. The plant needs a little bit of water every day, and the fish needs food about twice a day, but that is not nearly what I thought it would take to maintain these organisms. I enjoyed this project; it was very interesting to make two small ecosystems. If I had the chance to do it again with two different organisms I would definitely do it.…

    Elodea Research Paper

    Elodea, also known as Elodea Canadensis, or waterweeds, lives favorably underwater. You can find Elodea mainly in natural waters in North America such as ponds, rivers, or lakes. Elodea has expanded all over the world as well, particularly in Europe. This aquatic plant multiplies rapidly and grows in a variety of conditions and environments, which is why it’s considered a weed. Elodea is often used in aquariums to stabilize the oxygen balance. It’s a fierce photosynthetic which makes it easy to measure the changes in carbon dioxide. In this experiment, the effects of photosynthesis and respiration of Elodea caused by different temperatures were studied. We used three different temperatures, room temp, cold, and warm in three…

    A fish has long been seen as the perfect “starter pet”. Parents who are skeptical of their children’s ability to care for a larger animal will often present their offspring with a goldfish before introducing a dog or a cat to the household. While it is true that goldfish do not require quite as much attention as their four-legged counterparts, marine pets are not as easy to raise as everybody seems to think. If a fish is to thrive and survive in your care, you must make sure the water in your aquarium is the right temperature, is free of chlorine, and has a low pH level. Failure to adequately prepare the water for your fish will ultimately lead to their death, likely after several weeks of illness and lethargy. Experienced aquarists may be…

    Fertilizer has been known to help plants and food crops by making them grow faster and larger. Fertilizer is used on many of the foods we eat by the fertilizer is not only in the plant crops. Fertilizer becomes excess runoff in the water as it rains. That eventually my end up inside our ponds and lakes. In the case of piper lake, a fertilizer plant, HTC fertilizers, leakes large amounts of fertilizer into eagle river which feeds onto piper lake. Since then algal blooms have been a dramatic increase. We did an experiment to truly if the fertilizer was affecting the algae in the water.…

    I have a deep interest in the ocean and marine life, which was fostered when my family and I moved to the Pacific Coast. This interest grew further after I went on a backstage tour to the aquarium at the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Due to this continuous exposure to the ocean and the creatures that live there, I am focusing my education around my interest in marine life. It's for this reason that I’m majoring in Marine Biology with a minor in Chemistry. With this education, my goal is to become an Aquarist, and build my way up to becoming an ocean or aquarium diver. As a diver, I want to have the opportunity to study coral reefs, and create and implement conservation plans. In addition, I want to study sea turtles and ways to conserve their declining…

    The Indian River Lagoon

    • 993 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Over the last couple of decades, the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) has seen an increasing amount of algal blooms caused by an excess of nutrients, most notably nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Algae being “photosynthetic microorganisms that are found in most habitats” (SJRWMD, 2007) and algal blooms being defined as a “rapid increase in the density of algae in an aquatic system... [that is] increased by nutrient pollution” (SJRWMD, 2007). Algae blooms contribute to the continuing loss of marine life in the IRL, including fish, marine mammals, and mangroves. Among other species lost because of algal blooms are sea grass, with some “areas losing up to 95 percent of their coverage.” (University of Florida, 2016). While current algae blooms are greatly…
