Aquarium Plants Information

The same holds true with more nitrate. The more you have, the less viable/healthy your aquarium water is.

Take care to not place too much livestock too quickly (variable with type of system, filtration...), nor too much in the long haul, nor over-feed the system... as all can and will cause trouble with overloading your biological filtration (among other things).

Too Late! Ammonia, Nitrite Too HIGH!!!

Should you ever find your system ammonia or nitrite concentrations approaching 1.0 ppm due to overloading, mis-feeding,

A giant step in biologically improved water quality was taken with the introduction of wet-dry (aka reef, trickle) filters. Fishes and invertebrates live longer, healthier lives and maintenance is greatly reduced with their use.

Properly constructed and operated wet-dry

Such flaws are often called to pay the price if the foundation (solid or otherwise) settles even slightly in time. One way to compensate for small flaws is to bed the aquarium on a thick slab of non-absorptive (styro-)foam. Without padding, it is crucial to ensure that the stand top is not porous at all but rather very dense. Particleboard and pressed wood are terrible materials for stand construction and will absorb water, swell and can cause a le

Explore garden pond outlets, books and other sources for products and concepts that can be adapted for large aquaria.

Protein skimmers are also highly recommended for big marine systems. In fact, they are so efficient at nutrient export that water quality will benefit immeasurably with two skimmers in operation. The suggestion is to keep two unique styles (venturi, airstone, injection, or aspirated) because different skimmer designs can extract different qualities of skimmate. Alternate or stagger cleaning and

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!
Improper seasonal feeding can lead to a build-up of toxic ammonia, which stresses fish and reduces their winter survivability. When the water temperature drops to approximately 65 F, start feeding with Spring

I've got a question about movies.
Going to go see snakes on a plane with my brother. Just wanting to know if you are allowed to go see R movies if your 17? I know it says Under 17 can't go see the movie unless you have an adult with you. DOes that mean 17 and under or just everyo.

Breeding Clownfish

Thanks to Disney's Motion Picture 'Finding Nemo', almost everybody is familiar with clownfish.
Clownfish, or Anemon.

Refugium reverse photo period, could it actually fuel daytime algae?
I was just reading some articles about PH and whatnot (Randy Holmes Farley stuff) and started to think about CO2. If algae gives off Co2 at night time when it isn't photosynthesizing, then the chaeto ball in my fuge is doing just that during the.

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?.
