A low pH level means the water is too acidic. You need to monitor your pH levels and make adjustments to the environment quickly if you have a low pH.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview The lubricant sub-sector of the downstream industry is one with so many potential that is capable of being a major source of revenue earner for the country, and has grown over the years with increase in the number of second hand passenger and commercial vehicles in the country calling for more frequent lubricant changes. Though Nigeria has an installed lubricant capacity of 600, 000 metric tonnes the current demand is 700 million litres which is about 1% of global demand. The lubricants market is driven by various steps being taken by government such as initiatives to increase the ease of doing business to boost manufacturing sector activities and the Nigeria Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) to emphasize investment in infrastructure. With the increase of import duty on finished lubricants to 30% and the recent 7.5 percent VAT on finished lubes in the country, the sectors have been opened up for further investment and the proposed project considered in this study is set to explore the given opportunity. Though there are presently 34 lube blending plants in Nigeria, only two of these (5.9%) are located in the south- south region of the country (DPR, 2020). This proposed lubricating oil blending plant project by Eraskon Nigeria Ltd is thus a private effort to support the government of Nigeria on how local production of lubricant can be increased to boost its domestic availability especially in the south-south region of the country. 1.2 Project Proponent Eraskon Nigeria Limited is a lubricant oil manufacturing company incorporated in Nigeria by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with RC No.

  • Aquatics and Fishkeeping
    UNIT 21: AQUATICS AND FISHKEEPING Unit 21: Aquatics and Fishkeeping Unit code: J/503/1723 QCF level: 5 Credit value: 15 x Aim This unit aims to develop learner understanding of fish biology, aquatic invertebrates and aquatic management, as well as their practical skills in maintaining of aquatic species in appropriate conditions. x Unit abstract In this unit learners will explore the factors that an aquarium employee or ornamental fish farmer need to understand. The unit focuses on the work involved at an aquarium, aquatic centre, specialist pet centre or similar, and the ideas in this unit are major considerations for this area of the industry. Certain aquaria around the world use these skills to support species on the verge of collapse and, as such, have developed in-depth breeding programmes. Examples of the skills developed in this unit can be seen around the world for example an aquarium in California has been able to establish Scorpion fish in captivity, a species notoriously difficult to breed, by applying a knowledge of water requirements and health management strategies. x Learning outcomes On successful completion of this unit a learner will: 1 Understand the taxonomy and biology of ornamental aquatic species 2 Be able to establish, monitor and interpret freshwater and marine community aquaria and ponds 3 Understand appropriate aquatic health management strategies 4 Understand procedures and practices relating to the acquisition, transportation, holding and supply of aquatic organisms.

  • Hardy Tetra Community Aquarium
    Elmer’s Aquarium Community Tank Ideas Tank Size: 10 gal or more H ardy Tetra Community Aquarium Why Keep Them? This community is our most popular community tank for beginners with tanks of 10 to 30 gallons. Tetras represent a large group of fish, and many of them make great choices for a beginner’s community tank. Many tetras are active, colorful, hardy and get along well with other tank mates. Housing: This community tank is suitable for tanks of 10 gallon and up. Filtration can include an AquaClear power filter with a supplemental air pump and sponge filter. They like to swim in the middle water layers. Provide some bushy plants (live or plastic) toward the rear of the tank, and leave the front open for swimming. Water Conditions: Temperature 74-80. pH- (6.6-7.2) Use Seachem Neutral Regulator with each partial water change. Live Plants: Live plants are highly recommended for this community, but not required. Live plants will help bring out the best coloration and behavior in these fish as well as maintain optimal tank conditions. Feeding: Feed this community two to three small feedings per day. Feed flakes, small pellets, and some assorted frozen foods such as mysis shrimp for the most nutrition. How Many? Tetras, Danios, Rasboras, Barbs, Moons and Swordtails are schooling fish and should be bought in groups of at least 3 or more. Tank Mates: Choose other fish of similar size and temperament. Our staff can help you find them in our store. Tetras: Black Skirt Tetra, White Skirt Tetra, Serpae Tetra, Glowlight Tetra, Flame Von Rio Tetra, Bleeding Heart Tetra, Pristella Tetra, Black Phantom Tetra, Red Phantom Tetra, Silver Tip Tetra, Red Eye Tetra, Gold Tetra, Diamond Tetra, Emperor Tetra, GloFish Tetra, Bloodfin Tetra, Head & Tail Light Tetra, Rasboras: Harlequin Rasbora, Brilliant Rasbora, Scissortail Rasbora.

  • Back to Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 Annual)
    Back To Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 annual) The reef hobby, that part of the aquarium hobby that has arguably experienced the most change, is ironically also an example of the axiom that the more things change the more they remain the same. During the past 10 years we have seen almost constant change in reefkeeping practices, and, in many instances, complete reversal of opinions as to which techniques or practices are the best. We have gone from not feeding our corals directly to feeding them, from using some type of substrate to none at all and then back again, and, finally, we have run the full gamut from using a lot of technology to little or none. It is this last change, commonly referred to as the "back to nature" or natural approach, that many hobbyists are now choosing to follow. Advocates of natural methodologies have been around since the 1960s, when the first "reefkeeper," Lee Chin Eng, initiated many of the concepts and techniques that are fundamental to successful reefkeeping. Mr. Eng lived near the ocean in Indonesia and used many of the materials that were readily available to him from this source. "Living stones," which have come to be known as live rock, were used in his systems as the main source of biological filtration. He also used natural seawater and changed it on a regular basis. His tanks were situated so they would receive several hours of direct sunlight each day, which kept them well illuminated. The only technology he used was a small air pump, which bubbled slowly into the tank.

It is an amazing window to the fascinating underwater world. The term ‘aquarium’is a derivative of two words in Latin, i.e aqua denoting ‘water’ and arium or orium indicating ‘compartment’. Philip Henry Gosse, an English naturalist, was the first person to actually use the word "aquarium", in 1854 in his book The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. In this book, Gosse primarily discussed saltwater aquaria. Aquarium or ornamental fish keeping has grown from the status of a mere hobby to a global industry capable of generating international exchequer at considerable levels. History shows that Romans have kept aquaria (plural for ‘aquarium’) since 2500 B.C and Chinese in 1278-960 B.C. But they used aquaria primarily for rearing and fattening of food fishes. Chinese developed the art of selective breeding in carp and goldfish, probably the best known animal for an aquarium. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first to keep the fish for ornamental purpose. World’s first public aquarium was established in Regents Park in London in 1853. Earlier only coldwater fishes were kept as pets as there was no practical system of heating which is required for tropical freshwater fish. The invention of electricity opened a vast scope of development in aquarium keeping. The ease of quick transportation and facilities for carting in temperature controlled packaging has broadened the horizon for this hobby.

Each preprocessing step is a heuristic to increase the likelihood of semantic matches while minimizing spurious matches. A secondary goal of preprocessing is to create supplemental index terms to improve retrieval performance, e.g., for documents that do not posses many of their own.
