Nitrogen Cycle occurs in the aquarium.
Fish produce ammonia which is toxic. In a well established aquarium, Some beneficial bacteria will break down the ammonia into nitrite, and a second species of bacteria will break down nitrite into less harmful nitrate. The whole process of converting ammonia into nitrite and then into nitrate is called nitrogen cycle.
Although, only well established fish tanks have this nitrogen cycle going normally.
For new aquariums, fish keepers must do fishless nitrogen cycle before they add any fish at all, or the fish will risk dying to ammonia poisoning due to insufficient amount of good bacteria. The whole fishless nitrogen cycle process can take 6~8 weeks.

What is a balanced aquarium set-up?

What occurs in the Krebs cycle?
the Krebs cycle, aka citric acid cycle, occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
In eukaryotic cells the Krebs cycle occurs in the .?
The Kreb's cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, which have no mitochondria, the Kreb's cycle occurs in the cytoplasm.
When during a cell cycle does Replication occur?
DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle, which is the phase where DNA is duplicated to create identical copies of the genetic material before cell division. This ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information.
The Krebs cycle occurs in which region of the mitochondrion?
The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, which is the innermost compartment of the mitochondrion.
Where does the Krebs cycle occurs?
The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell.The kreb cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.
What occurs in a eleven year cycle?
The cycle of sunspot activity.
What occurs in a mitochondrion?
The Kreb's Cycle occurs in the mitochondria or mitochondrion
Which two cycle are linked by the production and utilization of carbon dioxide where do these cycles occur?
The Calvin Cycle in Photosynthesis and The Krebs Cycle in Cellular Respiration. The Calvin Cycle occurs in chloroplasts and The Krebs Cycle occurs in the Mitochondria.

What occurs on the 14 day of the menstrual cycle?
On the 14th day of a typical 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs. This is when the ovary releases an egg, which can then be fertilized by sperm. Ovulation is a key part of the menstrual cycle and is the most fertile time for conception.
