In Conclusion:

The best time to install centralized filtering is when first building out your location; although this great leap forward can be accomplished effectively when remodeling/upgrading your set-up. Whenever you decide; do it! The savings in reduced livestock and personnel stress is considerable. The difference will show in a less-sore back, cleaner and safer store and larger profits.

The Balanced Aquarium: Once very common, aquariums like this are rare these days. Before modern filtration devices were invented, this was the only means of keeping an aquarium. Usually equipped only with aeration or a simple power filter, a balanced aquarium has many plants (or lots of photosynthetic organisms in a marine version), and very very few fish, so that all of the nitrogen produced by the fish is used by the plants (or algae and corals in saltwater). An example of a balanced freshwater aquarium would be a 55 gallon tank, heavily planted with only about

Notes on Prefilters Used for Stand-Alone Wet-Dry & Berlin Filter Systems:

Water is fed into wet-dry filters and Berlin reservoirs from a separate "overflow prefilter," which may be built-into the aquarium (called a "reef-ready" aquarium) or purchased as a stand-alone unit which hangs on the back of the aquarium.

Built-in prefilters are the best type, as there are no siphon tubes involved w

The screen is then covered by 2" of fine coral gravel. This allows the aquarist to turn over the top inch of gravel occasionally to clean it, without disturbing the anaerobic layer below.

Anaerobic bacteria form in the bottom depths of the substrate and in the water below. As anaerobic bacteria cultivate, they remove nitrates. Anaerobic action produces a fair amount of heat. The heat warms the water layer below the gravel. The warmer water flows upwards, displacing cooler water above the gravel. This action moves water through the plenum at very slow rates. The slow movement of water through the gravel helps to prevent dangerou

This is why wet-dry filters are sometimes referred to as "trickle" filters. The trickle plate forces the water to be delivered uniformly to the wet-dry chamber, so that it passes through all areas of the biological filter media. Water collects under the wet-dry chamber, and then passes through a baffle which usually has some form of chamber for chemical or sponge media. The baffle also serves to eliminate air bubbles. After passing through the baffle, the water flows into the sump, where it is then delivered back to the aquarium by

Black Neon Tetra
Few things are as eye-catching as a large school of shimmering tetras. If you already have a school of Neon or Rummy Nose Tetras, consider adding Black Neons....

Be gentle, it's my first time
Hi, my name is Victor and I'm a fish-a-holic. Have had FW for years and years and years.... Tried SW in college, but I didn't inhale. (or research it) = tank-o-cide. :( Any who, just bought an established 30 gall.

Brain versus Hammer
I recently moved the brain a little to close to the Hammer and caught this pic at night, 1st time I ever seen the brain put out the stingers since I got him 3 years ago..
