If you have a long electrical power failure, your tank will be over-stocked, and the fish will run out of oxygen much sooner.

New-Tank Cycle (Ecological Break-in) Information:

Start with 25% of the total capacity of the aquarium in inches. Wait at least five weeks (six is better), and then test the water for ammonia and nitrite. If you do not get a zero reading for BOTH tests, do a 25% water change and wait ano

erhaps even an engineered or DIY tower of some sort? How big is your pump? Where should it be placed? What about sizing the tubing to/from it? Should you leave open/space for adding other discharges, returns for a sump/refugium later?

All these issues and more should be considered before even buying your tank... as both glass and acrylic models can be custom-ordered/made and the former are much easier to drill/fit for lines before assembly. Check with your dealer or fabricator r

They provide adequate circulation and exchange of water; harbor beneficial aerobic (and often anaerobic) microbes, promote gaseous exchange; mechanically filter out large solid wastes (generally in a pre-filter arrangement) and their sumps are often equipped with contactors, dosers, meters, and skimmers.

These units do have their shortcomings; improperly engineered they can be a flo

Aquarists for some time have also used external water pumps plumbed directly in and out of an aquarium (no open sump necessary) in a fashion that is called "closed loop". It lacks a manifold and actually, lacks any notable means of finesse its simply an external water pump sucking water out of a tank and blasting it right back in. It is crude, but serves a very important role in aquariums with high flow demands that exceed the desired (or able) abilities of a sump path return often hampered by inadequate overflows.

Keeping the tank clean helps to keep down the level of toxins in the water and helps the fish resist disease. Another important aspect to keeping any fish is to make sure you do not overload the tank a general rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon. So if you have a 20 gallon tank, it can safely house 20 inches of fish. The less fish the better, of course. Refrain from mixing your Siamese fighting fish with any other fish that like to nip at fins, and remember only 1 male per tank!
