Today let's talk about the Nitrogen Cycle, shall we?
The definition of this cycle is: the series of processes by which nitrogen and its compounds are interconverted in the environment and in living organisms, including nitrogen fixation and decomposition.
Here are the steps to the Nitrogen Cycle in our aquarium:
1. Food gets poured into the tank.
2. Fish eat the food, which eventually becomes waste.
3. Their waste turns ammonia.
4. Ammonia turns into nitrate by nitrosonoma bacteria.
5. Nitrite turns to nitrate by nitrobacter bacteria.
6. The plants absorb the nitrate like a plant fertilizer.
7. The plants clean the water.
8. The cycle repeats!
Wave-ing bye for now!
