As such, they can be made smaller to handle the same bio-load, and are indeed space saving. As submerged media, however, they are wholly dependant on the flow of water to bring food and oxygen to them. In some ways, they compete with livestock (for oxygen) and can contribute deleteriously to water quality if overfed (fast nitrate accumulation). In the event of a power or system failure, this submerged media is vulnerable as it settles and suffocates its tremendous colony of aerobic bacteria. At

Youre lightings ready to go with a fool-proof restraint and ventilation. Next is the most confusing, least understood area of setting-up; filtration.

Filters are a big category with two major ways of looking at them, by type and how they work. Lets do both. First of all some filter basics review. Filters of any sort are designed to selectively remov

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

Before and after adjusting these water quality parameters, it is important to test the water for each value to be adjusted. It is also important to not adjust water quality too rapidly. Nearly all fish and invertebrates will suffer from rapid changes in water quality.

Nutritional Supplements

Just as we require good nutrition in order to survive, so do aquatic plants, animals and macro algae. In the wild, most fish eat a wide variety of foods. In most cases, it is impossible to duplicate their diet in captivity. Plants and invertebrates i

Approximately ten percent of those "aquarium aquarists" are marine types, so were now down to one percent of the total. The various sub-specialties of marine aquarium keeping are probably like those of freshwater; most are fishes-only set-ups, some with added invertebrates, grading into "true" reef systems of one sort and another. Thus our order of presenting the set-up of all these different and increasingly more "demanding, or difficult" arrangements.

Most aquarists Ive met who have "been the
