Aquariums and terrariums enrich your soul
Please tell us how you started aquariums and terrariums.
It goes back to when I was in the lower grades of elementary school. Anyway, I like fishing, rustling, waterside creatures and plants, It started with returning to the countryside and raising the fish and crustaceans that I caught myself.
Start by getting the things you need, and before you know it, you can bring nature into your own room." Now I want to recreate it. Additionally, a nearby shop was putting effort into its nature aquarium. As a result, I fell in love with aquariums even as a child.
Even if you are in the city or at home, you can experience the nature you love near the water or in the mountains. I think the great thing about this hobby is that you can feel it.
Also, this hobby really enriches the soul.
Is there anything in particular I should be careful about with an aquarium or terrarium?
We value bacterial balance. An aquarium cannot exist without filtering bacteria. Invisible to decompose mold food etc. even in terrariums and paludariums I believe that this can only be achieved if the ecosystem of bacteria and microorganisms is balanced.
Especially in aquariums, the filtration bacteria are effective and the water is crispy. We place the highest priority on producing water. In such water, both living organisms and plants I think it will show off its charm and shine.
In an aquarium, changes in the bubbling of water and the types of moss that occur, Be careful of changes in water temperature due to seasonal changes, From there, we can predict the condition of the filter.
When the balance of microorganisms in Parda and Terra is achieved, mold naturally develops. This will prevent mold from forming and the plants will grow better. I'm keeping an eye on it. If there is a problem, ventilate or get fresh air. We are trying to incorporate and improve as much as possible.
Also, when setting up a new aquarium or cage, please consider the layout. We strive for a layout that is easy to maintain.
I'm the type of person who wants to maintain it for a long time, so I don't want to worry about things like trimming or cleaning being difficult. Having points makes it difficult to maintain long-term. I'm careful here, whether it's Aqua or Parda.
Letting it wither and die is a very good experience.
Have you ever kept an aquarium or terrarium and felt like you failed?
At one point, there were so many aquariums, cages, and plants that it became a burden to manage them. I've felt it before. I think it's a failure if I can't enjoy it anymore. How much of your lifestyle can you manage without any burden? I think it's important to look into it.
There are countless times when plants wither and living organisms die. I've experienced it. Analyze the results and reasons for this in your own way, I have continued to repeat, ``Let's do this so that it doesn't happen next time.
So, in a sense, letting it wither or die is a failure. It may be true, but it is essential to becoming better. I also think it was a very good experience.
What are the important points when it comes to aquarium lighting and terrarium lighting?
When you see the beauty of the fish you caught while fishing or fishing under the sunlight. Out of excitement, I seek light that is as close to sunlight as possible. I feel that plants are most beautiful when they are illuminated by sunlight.
Plants and other living things get their energy from sunlight, so Personally, even if it is artificial lighting, light that is close to sunlight is ideal.
Also, when we call it sunlight, it falls on a place where there is nothing to block it. From the sunlight as it is, to a small amount of light that passes through the leaves of trees such as those in the mountains. Sunlight that is suppressed, sunlight that suppresses the red wavelength that reaches the water, etc. There are various types of sunlight.
So, in the environment where plants and creatures grow or live, We are looking for a reproduction of light that is as close as possible.
It's a fun hobby because there are so many correct answers.
Please give a message to Aqua beginners and users.
I don't want to be bossy, but...I can't raise them well. It's difficult to manage, and I'm sure you'll run into some kind of wall and worry about it.
But I think the correct answer to that question is different for each person. Speaking from my own experience, for those who have an ideal aquarium or cage. I have listened to many things, imitated them, and put into practice what I can. Of course, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
Even so, after trying various methods, I found my own answer. Style found. I also said on SNS, “That way is wrong.” I have been told negative things many times, but in reality, plants can be kept clean. It is growing, and its living body is vibrant and shining. So I started to think that this was my way, my correct answer.
I think everyone has their own style and correct answer, I think it's fun because it's a hobby where there are so many correct answers. We all want to have fun together. There are other ways to grow plants and raise living organisms. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
What do aquariums and terrariums mean to you?
The wonderful scenery you saw or the scenery you idealized, Something to recreate in your own space.
It doesn't end after you make it; you can enjoy the changes over time. Furthermore, you may experience growth that you never expected. I am often surprised by its unexpectedness.
And experience the strength and ephemerality of life in your favorite fish and plants. I think the beauty of this hobby is that you can feel it. The scale may change depending on lifestyle etc. It's a hobby that I will continue to do for the rest of my life, and it's my purpose in life!
thank you very much.
