Top 20 Saltwater Aquarium Fish

Artificial substrates like plastic, fiberglass and resins are lightweight but inefficient in many ways for a lack of porosity (limiting their ability to become significantly biological in time). Enlisting the minds and resources of a good aquarium society can be quite helpful for perspective from experienced and well-traveled aquarists. Some public aqua

Youll be very glad you did.

Dont lose your mind! Or sense of purpose here in working out the plumbing arrangement for your system. There are indeed "many roads" to Rome and getting the water about for your saltwater set-up. The very best advice (what I would do) is to visit shops, other aquarists, closely examine their rigs and ask them what they might do differently had they to do all over again.

Plumbing and Fitting Size:

There are tables of tubing/plumbing size recommendations per any given run (length) o

Or, you could use quick connect unions and hard PVC pipe to minimize potential leaks or salt creep associated with barb fittings and hose clamps.

These wavemakers are quite simple. They are a nothing more than a powerhead with a small geared device at the end which oscillates the ejected water back and forth. This rather simple setup though ha

Many folks mistakenly think that undergravel filters are obsolete. However, when it comes to freshwater aquaria, nothing could be further from the truth. We solve many peoples water quality problems by advising them to install an undergravel system, when the only filter they have is a small power filter on their freshwater tanks. Undergravel filters are inexpensive, and though they require monthly vac

You will find, however, that many obligations to water quality are much more strict with a heavy bio-load. Testing for less common parameters like oxygen saturation and phosphate levels may be easily overlooked (and certainly more easily corrected) in a smaller system, but a large aquarium requires due diligence, patience and planning to control these and other parameters. They are subject to the virtues and limitations of their very size. Both good and bad things are likely to happen slower in a large volume of water. We gain greater stability with increasing tank size. Thus, climbing nitrate levels are easily observed in advanc

After keeping and breeding Angel fish for a couple of years I decided to replace them for a group of discus fish, that was about.
