A "conditioning period" of time with careful feeding, testing and sparse livestock population must still be observed of course.

How Do It Know?

How can you tell how much ammonia, nitrite, nitrate you have, and why should you care? The easy answers are A) test kits and B) because at sufficient concentrations theyre deadly to your livestock. Do you really need to be aware of and measure for these parameters in order to be successful? No; youre tank will "cycle" either way. But a conscientious marine aquarist will be

If you count on the LFS (Local Fish Store) or your buddy down the road to keep you out of trouble and dont do your homework.. You will fail. That is the one guarantee in this hobby. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

The only way around this is to be able to afford to pay someone else to set-up and maintain your tank.

Once the spawning is complete (within several hours) the male takes on responsibility for attending them, whereas the female acts as protector of the eggs and supervisor of her male.

The spawning is likely to be occurred again at intervals

At time/point 5 ammonia starts to drop off in concentration, being readily oxidized by the first group of nitrifiers. Ditto at time/point 6 for the second group of bacteria. At time seven the system has officially "cycled" with ammonia and nitrite now at undetectable levels. In completely cycled, balanced systems the curve of nitrate concentration will flatten as marked (8) with an unbalanced situation (too little denitrification, use of nitrates by other life, transport by water changes, over-feeding/under-filtration...) accounting for an ever-increasing level/concentration of nitrate as indicated by (9)

Whats Hot: A Mix of Techniques

The late nineteen nineties find that as with human affairs, "there are no great leaders, just great committees"; what is being most utilized is a hodge-podge of the best of all the above (and more) filtration ideas, methods and attitudes. High quality live rock, live sand with or without the Jaubert plenum arrangement, vigorous circulation, and improved protein skimming are de riguer. Often, where space and budgets allow, aquaris
