Before and after adjusting these water quality parameters, it is important to test the water for each value to be adjusted. It is also important to not adjust water quality too rapidly. Nearly all fish and invertebrates will suffer from rapid changes in water quality.

Nutritional Supplements

Just as we require good nutrition in order to survive, so do aquatic plants, animals and macro algae. In the wild, most fish eat a wide variety of foods. In most cases, it is impossible to duplicate their diet in captivity. Plants and invertebrates i

As many male characins do, the male lemon tetras also have tiny hooks on their anal fins. Both males and females have the tetras characteristic adipose fin, which is also pale yellow in color.

Although omnivorous and able to exist on a diet of flaked food, the pale yellow color of the lemon tetra displays best if the fishs standard diet is well supplemented with live treats. The lemon tetra is an egg-scatterer. However, breeding can be tricky since females often have a problem expelling their eggs and after spawning, the lemon tetra lik

Such devices are better suited for very large systems, like public displays. Wave-timers with powerheads are likewise inferior to dedicated pumps producing random turbulent flow as their staccato operation increases wear on pumps in use while robbing the system of potential water flow during "off" cycles. Truly, the closed loop manifold described herein produces some of the most efficient water movement in the aquarium while insuring a good value of use (pump life and

This slightly increases the surface area of the aquarium, and aids in the exchange of gasses, but not enough to add a lot more fish! Air is mostly nitrogen, not oxygen, so unless pure oxygen is pumped into the tank, the main benefit of using an air pump is to increase surface area, and of course, because bubbles may look cool! If too many

This technique is not appropriate for most retailers who are better off recirculating, mixing system water.

How it Works:

Each tank or tub on a system is drilled and fitted with an overflow through the back or a bottom standpipe. Acrylic aquaria are easily drilled wit
