Acrylic Aquarium Bow

Intervention methods by aquarists; water changes, chemical filtrants, sped-up complete biological cycling (wet-dry filtration, algal scrubbers, abundant, vigorous live rock, macro-algae) can be brought into play to successfully limit the "bottle-neck" accumulation of nitrate ("8").

Expediency and Rates of Reaction:

Depending on such factors as the physical format of food/wastes provided, temperature, bacteria population dynamics, and oxygen supply, biological filtration in your system can be a forgotten breeze or an unending nightmare.

Allow me to elaborat

The implications for captive saltwater systems and aquarists are clear. "High", stable water quality is requisite in maintaining a healthy marine microcosm. Tied in with these notions is the effect of size; volume is important. Obviously, "the bigger the better" hold

This classification is also used with very aggressive fish, or those that can eat larger fish, requiring special consideration when choosing tank mates.

G - Venomous. Exercise extreme caution when catching, or when cleaning the aquarium, and do not keep if you have small children.

H - Fish that should not be sold or purchased because they are rare. We felt the need to emphasize this one. Imagine public reaction to our hobby if it were discovered and published that the aquarium trade was responsible for the extinction of a species.

Note that we have also included certain invertebrate species, which we strongly feel are being e

If you count on the LFS (Local Fish Store) or your buddy down the road to keep you out of trouble and dont do your homework.. You will fail. That is the one guarantee in this hobby. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

The only way around this is to be able to afford to pay someone else to set-up and maintain your tank.

3) Mingle! (see 2 above) There are plenty of reef-keeping societies out there with lots of experience to help you along your way and teach you what you need to know. As long as you are doing your own homework, they are usually happy to help!

We want to take out livestock wastes, but add oxygen. We want to eliminate particulate matter by serving it out, but not our fishes! There are lots of ways to do these things; basically it comes down to how much time, money, general resource a person wants to put in versus the degree of cleanliness desired and required. The best available, most appropriate filtration system will get you the most trouble-free, low input of time and money in the long ru

Hey
They are very interesting pictures that you have there. I am big fan of discuss fish, unfortunately there are no dealers who live near me and ihave to trave.

vermetid snails, putting them to good use. :)
i have alot of vermetid snails in my aquarium. until an hour ago, i deemed them to be a usless,ugly and very messy. turns out i was wrong, they still are ugly and messy, but certainly not useless. i have 2 snails very close together on a huge gsp rock (approx 2-3" apart) the two are also in the dirrect current of my 30.
