Diy Lighting Saltwater Aquarium

.. no detectable ammonia, nitrites; low nitrates (less than 10ppm), low phosphate (PO4, less than 0.05 mg/l), high redox (up to 425), elevated calcium (ideally 400-475 mg/l), pH 8.0-8.4, alkalinity 2.5-5 meq/l, near-saturation oxygen (generally about 7 mg/l)...

Here is a brief review of filtration types employed for reef use, with my comments on their suitability, and current

This type of fish food is better suited for the dietary requirements of pond fish in cool water and wont pollute the water with excess ammonia. Some water gardeners continue to feed their fish until they no longer come to the surface. I stop feeding my pond fish when the water falls below 42 F.
There is no need to worry about "frozen fish" if a section of the pond is at least 18 inches deep. Pond fish will seek the deepest part of the pond and over-winter there un

Good water flow will keep solids in suspension, which increases feeding opportunities by fishes and invertebrates, and improves filter/skimmer opportunities to export such matter in a well-designed system.

Powerheads are certainly one of the most popular ways aquarists create water flow in the aquarium, yet the technology has its flaws and may not be appropriate for advanced ma

This is our choice for many of our reef and all of our live-plant aquaria, especially when a chiller cannot be used. If a chiller can be used, however, we recommend metal halide lighting in combination with 7100K Power Compacts to help improve the color rendering. PowerCompact lamps should be changed every 12 to 18 months, depending on how many hours th

At "5" ammonia concentration has "peaked" and generally declines rapidly. Point "6" shows the same for nitrite. Both ammonia and nitrites are toxic at low levels to most fishes and invertebrates. At the time of "7", generally four to eight weeks into the set-up, both have fallen to acceptably low concentrations to allow further stocking.

Nitrates in our example continue to rise and might build to dangerous levels
