Question:

Should the air pump in the tank keep open all the time?

Bought a 40CM diameter, high 1.5M (real high 80CM) fish tank, which raised 10 small carp (10CM long). I'm not in the house for a week. So if I don't use an air pump, how long will the fish die without oxygen? So, if this week has been driving the inflatable pump, will not blow up the pump? Ask people to tell you, thank you very much!

Answer:

Air pump is generally not bad, I feel your cylinder density is a little big, or the air pump has been open better
If kept open, the fish will be cultured into a high oxygen fish. Once the electricity is out, something will go wrong. Can be equipped with a intermittent controller, open for 20 minutes, stop for 30 minutes, adjust at will. Dozen yuan. Timing controllers are also available. At present, you can say what you want.
Carp are considered to be aerobic fish, and your 80 largest round cylinder, if you keep ten carp, I'm afraid it's too dense. If you do not have long-term oxygen open filter, otherwise, you back a week, even if the fish die, will be very dirty. So please think twice.What's more, I don't know if you're a combo pump or a separate oxygen pump, and even the 21, these aquarium equipment, are able to fit in for long periods of time.
General fish are often open, not only inflatable, but also purify the water quality.1, submersible pump is best to open normally, stopped nitrifying bacteria will die, disappear, adverse to water.2, the aquarium to keep more fish, fish density is large, you often have to open the inflatable pump.3, even blow the kind of submersible pump can blow that function off, small fish in this excitement for a long time, will soon die from excessive fatigue.4, it is best to have two or three oxygen pumps open alternately, because the internal structure of the oxygen pump has a rubber cover is used to compress the air. Motor motor running for a long time, especially in summer, over heating, damage life. In short, the above two cases will have their service life.
