Take You to Understand the Application of Volcanic Stone

Volcanic stone in aquarium field

1. Living Water

Volcanic rocks can activate ions in water (mainly increasing the content of oxygen ions) and can slightly release alpha rays and infrared rays, which are good for fish and humans. The disinfection effect of volcanic stone can not be ignored, and it can effectively prevent and treat patients by adding it to the aquarium.

2. Stable water quality

There are two parts included here: the stability of the pH value, which can be adjusted appropriately to the water that is too acidic or too alkaline to automatically adjust to near neutrality. The stability of mineral content, 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 Luohan's head and the pH of the water quality during color enhancement are crucial.

3. Luring color

The volcanic stone is bright and natural in color, and it has a significant color attracting effect on many ornamental fish such as arhats, red horses, parrots, red dragons, three lake cichlids, etc. Especially, arhats have the characteristics that the body is close to the color of surrounding objects. Red will induce Rohan's color to gradually turn red.

4. Adsorption

Volcanic stone is porous and has a large surface area. It can adsorb harmful bacteria in the water and heavy metal ions such as chromium and arsenic that affect the organism, and even include some residual chlorine in the water. Placing volcanic stones in the aquarium can absorb residues and feces that cannot be removed by the filter and keep the water in the tank clean.

5. Playful props

Most fishes, especially Luohan, are not polycultured. They are also lonely, and Luohan has the habit of playing with stones to build homes. Therefore, the light-weight volcanic stone has become a good prop for its playfulness.

6. Promote metabolism

The trace elements released by volcanic stone can promote the metabolism of animal cells, and bring out harmful halides in the body to clean up the dirt in the cells. .

7. Optimize growth

Volcanic stone can also improve protein synthesis in animals, enhance immunity, and increase Lohan's mobility to a certain extent. This also played a big role in the beginning of Luohan.

8. Cultivation of nitrifying bacteria

The high surface area produced by the porosity of volcanic stone is a good breeding ground for nitrifying bacteria in water, and its surface is positively charged to facilitate the growth of microorganisms. It has strong hydrophilicity, and it causes NO2 and NH4 that are toxic to vertebrates produced by various causes in water The conversion into NO3- with relatively low toxicity can greatly improve the water quality.

9. Substrates for growing aquatic plants

Due to its porous characteristics, it is conducive to aquatic grass climbing and rooting and diameter fixing. The various mineral components dissolved in the stone itself are not only beneficial to the growth of fish, but also provide fertilizer for aquatic grass. In agricultural production, volcanic stone is used as a soilless cultivation substrate, fertilizer and animal feed additive.

Volcanic stone in the field of plant cultivation

Because small particles of volcanic stone (1 ~ 6 mm) are loose and porous, rich in minerals, resistant to diseases and insect pests, and inexpensive, they are mostly used for succulent plants for soil or paving, increasing soil permeability, preventing succulent plants from rotting roots, and preventing pests. Some plants that need to increase soil permeability can also add an appropriate amount of small particles of volcanic stone to the soil to prevent the accumulation of soil water from adversely affecting the plants.
