Aquarium Maintenance Business

Nitrogen compound testing gives you that.

Basically, all living things are made up of molecular building blocks called Amino Acids (AA for short). These are structures of carbon chains (some with sulfur), oxygen, hydrogen that are linked to one another by amino bonds to form proteins. Amino bond sounds a lot like ammonia, because it is. The nitrogen cycle is the sum total of processes that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into compounds useful to animals

Some of these units are plain garbage, not "pulling down" anywhere near what their manufacturers claim, leaking, failing, going to fish-heaven in less than a year. There are reputable people in the trade, and a few more units on their way, thank goodness, that will hopefully oust the charlatans.

Placement of chillers is critical; they should be where you can reach them for cleaning and checking, but also positioned for thorough ventilation and no water contact/splashing.

The scientific method for determining the exact number of fish involves using calculations that take the oxygen carrying-capacity factor into consideration, providing a total "biomass" or weight of all the fish that can safely be kept in one tank. This weight measurement is called the "carrying capacity."

In some public aquariums, fish farms, and aquaculture facilities, a sampling of fish are actually weighed before they are introduced to a system to prevent over-crowded conditions. It is impossible to do this for the average home aquarium.

To facilitate a better price and perhaps product quality or shapes, it will be helpful to seek a local aquarium store that can piggyback your order with one of their normal shipments to optimize freight and the cost of importation. Many local merchants are quite accommodating in such matters and in doing so earn a fair commission, negotiate a better price from a distributor for you, and finesse good will for all in the process. Use live rock and live sand wherever possi

Often seen in tiny little bowls in the pet store, this male of this species is fiercely territorial and must be kept in separate bowls or aquariums or they may fight to the death.

These interesting fish are equipped with a tipped up mouth that enables them to get air from the surface of the water and, therefore live in small bowls or those plant vases t

Fish Out of Water
Although Boni Comandante Jr.’s technique is intended to ship fish used for food, the idea of putting fish to 'sleep' and then transporting them without water is an interesting one.....
