To assure this last point is clear. Having low (less than ten ppm) nitrate is desirable, but not essential with fish only, live rock and algae systems.

Your goal in preparing an environment suitable to support your animal livestock is to first get populations of these two bacteria groups going in your new aquarium.

Filtration, en toto, embodies all you can do to mimic or even best "natural conditions": low organics, high oxygen tension, ready concentrations of necessary minerals and foods; non-linear, chaotic and robust water movement. All at the lowest cost , maintenance and potential for breakdown. What will be the next big improvement in reef filtration? Maybe youll be the design/engineer, or dreamer who comes up with it.

However, if you dont have a choice, and need to bring your fish inside for the winter, be sure to have an aquarium air pump or small fountain to provide oxygenation. The fish should be fed infrequently, if at all, depending on the water temperature. pH, ammonia and nitrite, which should be monitored weekly and especially if the fish are fed.
Small water changes (20%) each month will keep the water in good shape until spring. Koi are "jumpers"-so be sure to cover the pool with bird netting!

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

Metal halide bulbs come in various color spectra, from 5500K to the new 10,000K and 20,000K lamps.

We favor the 6500K lamps, in combination with 7100K PowerCompact lamps. Although some would disagree with us and recommend the higher color-temperature lamps, we feel that the results do not justify the much greater cost of these lamps. Weve tried all of them, and while the 10,000K and 20,000K lamps do produce a warmer appearance without the use of actinic lamps, weve seen no appreci

Every successful breeder of tropical fish knows that feeding live foods to their charges is one of the best ways to maintain healthy and active fish.

Live foods are overall high in protein. They stimulate spawning, and he.

Howdy, Anyone have any user feedback on these pumps? Reliable? Noisy? I'm looking for a potential replacement for a finicky and LOUD MAG7. This is for a Remora Pro by the way. Thanks!.

Aiptasia on my live rock
I was told by a neighbor that one of my live rocks had Aiptasia. I didnt know it was a bad thing. I actually thought it looked kinda cool. Do I need to get rid of it? If so how? Should I just get rid of that piece?.
