What should I add to the new water in the new fish tank besides salt?
The key to raising fish well is filtration, and filtration mainly filters fish feces, and toxins in water are produced by fish feces. The fundamental purpose of fish culture filtration is to remove ammonia poison produced by the decomposition of fish manure in water.
This can only be done by biological filtration, and nitrifying bacteria is a kind of bacteria that specifically targets ammonia in fish feces, which can transform ammonia poison into substances harmless to fish, so that the water body will be nontoxic, and the fish will be healthy and less sick.
If there is a lack of nitrifying bacteria attachment area in the tank, there will be less nitrifying bacteria, fish manure can not be treated in time, and the ammonia content in the water will be high. If fish live in ammonia-poisoned water for a long time, their physique will gradually weaken and they will be easily attacked by viruses in the water.
Just like in the space where human beings live, there are always all kinds of viruses in the air, so healthy people are not easy to be attacked by viruses, and weak people are easy to get sick. Therefore, it is the fundamental guarantee for fish to eliminate ammonia poisoning produced by fish feces in time.

Selection of fish tank
For the material of fish tank, glass is the main material in the market, so there is not much room for choice. The main concern is the shape of the fish tank. Generally, it is best to choose squares and circles, squares are mainly rectangles, and circles are mainly circles, not ellipses.
If other shapes are smaller, you can choose something different, just a small ornament, which won't have much influence. If it is a big fish tank, don't choose a grotesque one.
As for the larger fish tank, the bracket similar to the lower cabinet should be mainly dark or neutral, not too bright and not red.
