You should be encouraged to purchase the largest system possible/practical. The bigger the tank, the easier it is to maintain, the more stable an environment it will provide, and the more flexible it will be for stocking and decorating. Remember that small displacement engine motorcycle, and hard-drive on your first PC? The bigger, the better. For saltwater systems yo

I still cannot fathom what kind of reef they envisioned with their meager holes/flow rates. Their flow-through capacity is crippling hello algae!] A closed loop pump on the display, with or without a sump installation, can be harnessed to power a manifold as described above. Since the intake is tapped through the display body wall, and the return is at or above the water surface, there is no risk of an overflow as with a sump from return lines that dip too low and back-siphon in the event of an interruption of power (assuming the safe running sump level was not calculated and obeyed). There is some concern, however, with the protect

They provide valuable circulation, surface agitation, and oxygenation in any aquatic exhibit. Without them our aquaria would be lifeless stagnant pools of water.

Here is a brief roundup of the commonly available powerheads found in the aquarium hobby.

The Maxi-Jet powerhead on the left is being used to power a small protein skimmer. The attachment on the inlet allows air to be drawn in through the impeller, producing very fine bubbles.

I have found these pumps to be some of the quietest and mos

After considerations for the space needed for your creatures at adult size has been addressed, the focus on filtration must turn to efficiency and reliability. In the scope of this article, an overview of the most popular modes is offered. More specific if not scientific detail is given to such dynamics and beyond in the fantastic book by Escobal, Aquatic Systems Engineering. It is a technical but reliable reference that simply must be on the books

Yes, but usually not your first one. You have to know what you are doing and understand how things can and will go wrong before you can choose less expensive husbandry options and/or equipment. Save up if you have to, but count on that first tank being expensive.

Realize that this is not a short term commit
