Aggressive Aquarium Fish

(there is no clear dividing line in which nitrate is absolutely harmful; conditioned fishes and invertebrates have been cultured in water of several hundred (even thousands) ppm. All that can be agreed is less is better.)

5) pH, within a range of 8.0 to 8.5 ideally.

6) Temperature, 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit. (Periodically higher, not generally a problem for tropical systems. Stability more important than any given point.)

.. all are for the primary benefit of keeping these beneficial microbes healthy and metabolically active. But what can you do to bring them on-board faster? A lot.

There are stock inoculations of bacteria cultures for sale in spades for the purpose of initially establishing biological cycling. Sometimes they work; too often they don

First, unplug the pump, remove it from the tank, and place it in a clean bucket that is only used for the aquarium. No mop buckets! Be sure to arrange the powerhead such that the output nozzle is aimed sideways (Not up! Youll see why in a minute!). Add enough hot tap water to completely subm

This may be accomplished in a number of ways. One way is to place a couple of "anchor" pieces on the gravel bed, and glue others to the back of the tank using aquarium epoxy putty (not silicone!). The rest of the live rock may then be bridged across these supports to build the reef, but not too high. The construct should be loose, not tightly packed together, to allow good flow through the rock. Care should be taken not to direct flow from pump returns across the gravel. The emphasis in aquariums using
