Volcanic stone powder

Aquatic areas

1. The living water. Volcanic rock excites ions in the water (mainly by increasing oxygen levels) and slightly emits alpha rays and infrared rays, which are good for fish, including humans. The disinfection effect of volcanic stone can not be ignored, added to the aquarium, can effectively prevent and cure patients.

2. Stabilize water quality. There are two components: pH stabilization, which adjusts water that is too acidic or too alkaline automatically to near neutral. The mineral content is stable. Volcanic stone has the dual characteristics of releasing mineral elements and absorbing impurities in water. When it is too little or too much, its release and adsorption will occur. The stability of the pH value of water when the arhat starts and enhances color is crucial.

3. Color lure. The volcanic stone is bright and natural in color, which has a significant lures effect on arhat, red horse, parrot, red dragon, cichlids and many other ornamental fish. In particular, arhat has a characteristic that its body is close to the color of surrounding objects. The red color of volcanic rock will induce arhat to turn red gradually.

4. The adsorption. Volcanic stone is porous and has a large surface area. It can absorb harmful bacteria and heavy metal ions such as chromium and arsenic in the water and even some residual chlorine in the water. Volcanic stone placed in the aquarium can absorb the filter can not remove the residue and feces to keep the tank clean water.

5. Play props. Most fish, especially arhat, are not mixed. They can also be lonely and lonely. Arhat likes to play with rocks to build their homes.

6. Boost your metabolism. The trace elements released by the volcanic rock can stimulate the metabolism of animal cells and remove harmful halides from the body, cleaning the dirty things in the cells. .

7. Optimize growth. Volcanic stone can also improve protein synthesis in animals, enhance immune capacity, and increase the motility of luohan to a certain extent. This also played a big role in the beginning of arhats.

Culture of nitrifying bacteria. Lava-rock porous produced by high surface area is to cultivate good hotbed of nitrifying bacteria in water, and its surface is positively charged is advantageous to the growth of microbial fixation, strong hydrophilicity, the various reasons resulting in water of vertebrate extremely toxic NO2 and toxicity of NH4 into relatively small NO3 -, can greatly improve the water quality.

9. The substrate material for the growth of aquatic plants. Due to the porous characteristics, it is beneficial for water plants to grasp and take root and fix the path. The various mineral components dissolved from the stone itself are not only beneficial to the growth of fish, but also can provide fertilizer for water plants. In agricultural production, volcanic stone was used as a soilless culture substrate, fertilizer and animal feed additive. [4]

Plant field

Due to the small particle volcanic stone (1~6 mm) loose porous, rich in minerals, disease resistance and insect pest, low price, mostly used for succulent plants with soil or pavement, increase soil permeability, prevent succulent root rot, insect pest. Some plants that need to increase soil permeability can also add small particles of volcanic stone in the soil to prevent soil water from causing adverse effects on plants. [5]

Precautions for Use

1. Due to the volcano in large pieces of broken and transportation process, due to friction impact part of the residue and other sundry powder mixed with, directly into the cylinder will cause the water turbidity, please use water to soak for 24 hours, and then after several elutriation, wait for the minerals in the Shi Kong residue, packaging and other chemicals in the process of the filter net, can be used in the cylinder.

2. Volcanic stone generally has the effect of softening pH and alkalinity, but it is generally acidic.

But also does not rule out with special water quality and other filter stone alkalinity, please often test the pH value in the tank at the beginning of placement, so as not to cause harm to fish seedlings under special circumstances. In general, the influence of volcanic stone on the pH value of water is between 0.3-0.5.

3. After 3-6 months of use, it is recommended to replace the volcanic stone due to mineral consumption. You can also use saturated salt water to soak the used volcanic stone for 30 hours, and then fully wash the impurities with water to continue to use.
