水草水槽の疑問にお答えします！AQUASHOP wasabi Q&Aシリーズ ① 「流木のアク抜きって必要？エビが動かないんだけど？ガラス蓋ってしてもいい？」アクアリウム・熱帯魚・水草のノウハウ

Summary

In this informative video, the host addresses common inquiries from viewers of the Wasabi Aquatic Plant Channel. The discussion covers three main topics: the necessity of 'Akubiki' (draining) for driftwood in aquariums, strategies to stimulate shrimp activity in a new tank, and the debate on using a glass lid for planted aquariums. The host provides detailed explanations and solutions, such as using high-performance activated carbon to clarify water, adjusting water quality and lighting conditions to improve shrimp behavior, and the benefits of not using a glass lid to maximize light exposure for aquatic plants. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to engage with the channel and explore related products.

Takeaways

• 🌿 There is no need to perform 'Aquarium Activated Carbon' (アク抜き) on driftwood before placing it in an aquarium, as it does not contain toxic substances and can even help lower the water's pH slightly.
• 🐚 If shrimp in an aquarium are not moving or eating, it could be due to poor water quality, such as high levels of ammonia or nitrite, which may be harmful to the shrimp.
• 💡 In the case of shrimp not being active, it is recommended to change the water more frequently to reduce the concentration of harmful substances and allow beneficial bacteria to grow.
• 🔆 If the lighting in an aquarium is too strong, it may cause stress to the shrimp and affect their feeding behavior. Reducing the light intensity or duration can help.
• 🚫 Using a glass cover (ガラス2) in an aquarium is generally not recommended because it can reflect light, reducing the effectiveness of the light source and potentially causing harm to the plants and shrimp.
• 🌱 For aquariums with plants that do not require strong light, such as mosses, a glass cover can be used to prevent water evaporation and protect the tank from external elements.
• 🛠️ When setting up an aquarium, it's important to consider the type of plants and their light requirements to avoid using unnecessary equipment like a glass cover that might hinder their growth.
• 💧 Using high-performance activated carbon can help clear the water in an aquarium without the need for 'Aquarium Activated Carbon' on driftwood.
• 🦐 Shrimp that are not eating may be affected by water quality issues, and addressing these issues by improving water conditions can help restore their health and appetite.
• 🌟 High-quality lighting is crucial for plant growth in an aquarium, and using a glass cover might hinder the light's effectiveness, leading to suboptimal plant growth.
• 🔬 Regular monitoring of water parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, and pH levels is essential to maintain a healthy environment for both plants and aquatic life in the tank.

Q & A

What is the main topic of the video script?

The main topic of the video script is addressing common questions from customers and viewers about aquarium and aquatic plant care, specifically focusing on deacidification of driftwood, shrimp not moving in the tank, and the use of glass lids in aquatic plant tanks.

Why is deacidification of driftwood not necessary according to the script?

Deacidification of driftwood is not necessary because driftwood does not contain toxic components, and it can actually be beneficial by turning the water slightly acidic, which is not harmful to aquatic life.

What are the reasons for shrimp not moving in the aquarium as mentioned in the script?

The reasons for shrimp not moving in the aquarium are poor water quality, which can damage the shrimp, and strong lighting that might be too intense for them.

How can poor water quality affect shrimp behavior in an aquarium?

Poor water quality, such as high levels of ammonia or nitrite, can cause damage to the shrimp, making them less active or even immobile.

What is the suggested solution if the water quality is poor and affecting the shrimp?

The suggested solution is to perform regular water changes to lower the concentration of harmful substances like ammonia and nitrite, allowing beneficial bacteria to establish and improve water quality over time.

Why might strong lighting be an issue for shrimp in an aquarium?

Strong lighting can be too intense for shrimp, causing them stress and making them less active or even refusing to move.

What is the recommended approach to reduce the intensity of lighting for shrimp?

The recommended approach is to turn off the lighting for 24 hours to weaken the light intensity, which can help shrimp recover and become more active again.

Why are glass lids generally not recommended for aquatic plant tanks?

Glass lids are not recommended because they can reflect light, reducing the actual light reaching the plants, and they can also be dangerous due to the risk of breaking during cleaning or maintenance.

What are the potential benefits of using a glass lid in specific types of aquatic plant tanks?

In tanks with low-light plants like mosses or small aquatic plants that do not require intense light, a glass lid can help prevent water evaporation and protect the tank from accidents, making it a suitable option.

How can viewers get more information on topics discussed in the script?

Viewers can find more information on related topics through the links provided in the video description, or by watching past videos that delve deeper into specific subjects like shrimp care or lighting.

What is the script's stance on the use of activated carbon in aquariums?

The script suggests that activated carbon is useful for吸附 (absorbing) impurities and clarifying the water, but it does not mention deacidification, which seems to be a translation error as 'absorption' was likely intended.

How can viewers engage with the channel for more questions or feedback?

Viewers can engage by leaving comments with their questions or feedback in the comment section of the video, and the channel may address these in future Q&A sessions.
