Baltimore Harbor Aquarium

As previously mentioned, however, they have two major drawbacks. They (and the ballasts that power them) produce a lot of heat and use a lot of electricity. They also distribute light over a relatively limited area, so that several bulbs may be required for longer tanks. Unless an aquarium equipped with metal halide lighting is kept in a cool room and adequate ventilation is used above the waters surface, an aquarium chiller will be required to maintain a safe temperature for live-reef

As many male characins do, the male lemon tetras also have tiny hooks on their anal fins. Both males and females have the tetras characteristic adipose fin, which is also pale yellow in color.

Although omnivorous and able to exist on a diet of flaked food, the pale yellow color of the lemon tetra displays best if the fishs standard diet is well supplemented with live treats. The lemon tetra is an egg-scatterer. However, breeding can be tricky since females often have a problem expelling their eggs and after spawning, the lemon tetra lik

includes species that only seem to survive in an aquarium when kept in large shoals (schools), and those that are collected from deep water, often improperly

Rare: Folks! If it is next to impossible to FIND a fish in the wild, collecting that species is a sure-fire way to drive it into extinction! To us, keeping these species is very irresponsible. We have two words for people that disagree with this . . . BITE ME!

Please note that some species may be on the list for more than one or more of these reasons, but not all reasons are shown due to space limitations. In our opinion, one or two reasons alone are enough to avoid that species, unless

They work the same way as a fluorescent tube but the surface area of the tube has been increased slightly and more phosphors added. They require more electricity than regular fluorescents but the payoff is huge! They produce nearly four times the light-output per watt than regular fluorescents and in our experience, degrade slower and last longer. They come close to the output of metal halide bulbs with relatively-precise color temperature production, though metal halide bulbs produce a far bro

Therefore, retailers tend to use the products that their wholesaler carries, are always available, return a solid profit, and that are made by companies that provide good support and easy return policies.

The products that a retailer chooses to carry represents a compromise between all of these factors. If "Brand A" protein skimmer is rated exceptional in performance, but is expensive, consistently backordered, and has a poor customer service record on r
