Depending on what type, size, and livestock you want to keep this is an easy to more difficult task.

Type:

As youll see under the 5) Operation: Setting Up a Marine Aquarium headings, fish only to fish & invertebrates, to full-blown reef systems have increasingly more demanding requirements for "cleanliness" (i.e. an absence of metabolites). Whereas all marine systems would have a functional protein skimmer, fish-only set-ups often get by with little more than an air-powered undergravel filter and/or some outside power filtration.

The

For the safety of your person and property, be sure to have a professional evaluate and confirm the integrity of the aquarium and the solid foundation of the stand, as well as the floor upon which it sits. Most large aquariums over a few hundred pounds will need to be set on solid ground (concrete flooring). When this is not possible, strategy will be required with an orientation perpendicular to the run

3) Avoid excess, extra twists and turns in your plumbing arrangement. All those tees, elbows, couplings, gate valves... anything that restricts flow is to be reduced to a minimum. All such impediments reduce flow, add resistance to your pump, increase the cost per unit flow.

Through-Put Fittings:

Call them Bulkhead Fittings, Gas-Jacket/Spa Fittings, Through-Hull Fittings... these are all plastic devices fitted through holes in tanks that allow (slip and threa

No, every real cold/cool water system must face trouble without cooling. Dont rely on floating "ice bags, jugs" to keep system temperature sufficiently cool. Buy or build a chiller.

I have seen (and even written, a zillion years ago) how-to articles on building your own chiller; some authors showing how to retrofit a "water-cooler" compression unit, others ut

Such devices are better suited for very large systems, like public displays. Wave-timers with powerheads are likewise inferior to dedicated pumps producing random turbulent flow as their staccato operation increases wear on pumps in use while robbing the system of potential water flow during "off" cycles. Truly, the closed loop manifold described herein produces some of the most efficient water movement in the aquarium while insuring a good value of use (pump life and
