for wet-dry filters). These towers employ a media and circulation in an attempt to optimize filter surface area, and per-unit circulation/conversion efficiency. They work; and are especially useful in Large, crowded (as in wholesale) systems with widely vacillating bio-loads.

Other filters focus on the removal of the "end-product" of crowded closed marine systems, nitrates. Macro-algae and other nitrate-using live-rock constituents can only do so much in using up this hotly-debated metabolite. Algal scrubbers of different sorts, with intense light, shallow water and specialized attachment media can do amazing amounts of nitrate (e

Unfortunately, it just does not work too well in aquariums.

Powerhead Maintenance

Regardless of brand, all powerheads are going to require some routine maintenance to keep them functioning properly. Intake screens should be cleaned at least once per month. Every three to six months I give my pumps a series of chemical bathes to clean them thoroughly.

While we are sure some hobbyists would disagree with us here, we feel that more research is necessary on this fascinating subject. The original plenum method used aeration as the only means of water movement in the tank. We highly recommend that a plenum be used in conjunction with a Berlin system. The protein skimmer will remove other dissolved and solid organics, not removed by the plenum. The use of a protein skimmer combined with the plenum method may be the ke

Clownfish, or Anemonefishes, from the family of Pomacentridae, are one of the easiest tropical marine aquarium fish to breed. Clownfish regularly lay eggs in aquariums. They have pretty large eggs and larvae, and since the larvae easily eats cultured live foods, raising them is somewhat simpler then it tis with many other marine species..

You need to get a pair if you want to breed clownfish and you need to sex the fish. And thats a quite an interesting part believe it or n
