Fish Tank Stands 75 Gallon

Nitrification occurs principally through bacteria (e.g. Nitrosomonas) metabolizing ammonia to nitrites (NO2-) and other groups (e.g. Nitrobacter) in turn converting nitrites to nitrates (NO3-). Lets look at this in another way (refer to Figure 3); an "idealized" time line for establishing nitrogen cycling in a new marine aquarium:

At mark "0" youve just set up your system and placed all new (read that as sterile) marine water (synthetic). In most cases, the hobbyist will shortly thereafter ("1") introduce either A) Some hardy (nitrogenous waste resistant) fishes, such as damsels to help "pop" t

I recommend you to use as big a tank as you can for your gar, and I wouldnt recommend keeping gars in an aquarium smaller than 200 Gallon/720 L. And that should be considered a minimum; a 400 gallon/1400 L tank is preferable.

The tank should be decorated in accordance with gar behaviour. Gars are ambush predators, and as such th

My favorite was the use of an emersion coil looped within an old chest-type soda vending machine. Be very careful of contamination if you choose to "build your own".

Modern units come in two formats, either with a chilled coil you immerse in your system, or an external exchanger with a transfer fluid that the systems water is re-circulated through.

Whats that Latin saying? "Cave aquaristum", let the aquarist beware; there is a very wide range of quality, functionality and life-span amongst available units. By all means, compare warranties/guarantees, but do not purc

Additional airstones, fluid-moving pumps are great at eliminating anaerobic zones, moving wastes to filters, and speedy processing/removal.

Aeration:

Likewise cannot be easily overdone. Beware of the dangers of too fine bubbles (smaller than 0.1 mm) by limiting their possible exposure within a contactor or skimmer.

Filter Basics:

Removing Organics.

in the form of nitrogenous wastes (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates), phenols, scatols and much more is the principal goal of filtrati

Large Power Filters: Before the invention of the undergravel filter, people used large, bulky power filters to cultivate beneficial bacteria. These original power filters were gigantic, compared to the modern hang-on power filter. Some were as large as twenty four inches across, and held up to a gallon or two of water and filter media. They used glass filter wool as the media to cultivate bacteria, which was usually layered with charcoal (We didn

phosphates too high
hello again- Well my 90 gallon predator/reef tank has been up in running for about 7 months. Everything is running smoothly so far- water parameters are nitrate > 20 ppm, nitrite 0ppm, ammonia 0 ppm, pH 8.2, salinity 1.025, but phosphates are way to high it's about 5 ppm. For the past two weeks...
