Aquarium Water: From one ton of water plus 30 kg of Aquarium salt modulation
Seals, tropical fish , penguins ...... Taizhou Sea World aquatic animals , kids always makes an eye-opener .
They come from different places, and we are able to meet together in Taizhou , that is because it is water credit.
Well, the world of ocean water come from? Tap water, or transported from the sea over ?
Yesterday, the reporter to ask the manager of Taizhou biological farming SeaWorld Li Haiqiang , let him give us the secrets revealed water ocean world.
"You see those clear water , are man-made ." Li Haiqiang said that every year , Taizhou Ocean World will take samples of local tap water sent to Tianjin. According to the composition of the water , the Tianjin -related companies will prepare a suitable aquatic life in the Aquarium salt , which contains calcium, potassium, copper and other trace elements. "In short, this Aquarium salt makes dolphins and other animals breathe together , particularly comfortable ."
Now, Taizhou Sea World aquatic survival , " sea " , based on " one ton of water plus 30 kg Aquarium salt" concocted several sea . Different animals, it was adapted to the water temperature is not the same, the pool water at Ocean World is 28 ℃, while the temperature at the Penguin Pavilion 0-5 ℃.
Sea World in pool sizes, large water can hold more than 1000 tons , can only accommodate smaller than 10 tons of water. When a pool of water for a long time , it will hypoxia. What's more, those aquatic animals also excreted into the water . To conserve water and save costs , SeaWorld needs water to keep the water circulating system environment .
Under normal circumstances, the pool water through the circulating pump , to filter out sand tank debris , water can back out of the pool , " brought back to life ." In addition to the sand tank , biochemical pool skimmer systems can get rid of impurities in the water .
Sometimes, Sea World staff also dive into the pool , siphoning off dirt with a tool , then put a new water section. " A large pool of water change once a week , every 5 % of the amount of change ."
According to this calculation , one year, the equivalent of a large pool of water for once, five or six times Koike water change . A year later, Taizhou Ocean World in the water at about 10 million tons, cost about $ 300,000.
