They can then be swiveled to finesse the dynamic of water flow in the aquarium as corals grow or wane, or when the seascape changes for any other reason. A slight restriction of water flow can be achieved by heating another short stem of pipe and crimping it to produce a restricted flare-tip that will increase the velocity of effluent water. This modified nipple is to be placed, of course, into an effluent tee. Some discretion is required here, however, as the resistance from a single crimped outlet will likely translate into water taking an easier path of resistance namely, another open outlet(s). To compens

Finally, some passing reminders about issues of water quality and husbandry. With respect for the investment you will make on a large system in money and livestock be sure to quarantine all new specimens separately in isolation (a proper QT) for a full four weeks without exception. This includes all plants, algae, fishes, invertebrates anything brought home wet! The ramifications of admitting a parasite, pest, or disease i

A female usually lays 1,000-2,000 eggs. The eggs are opaque at first, turning transparent in 24 hours. After the eggs are laid, both parents watch over the eggs, wafting the eggs with their fin and guarding them against predators. Occasionally they take the eggs in their mouth, which keeps them clean and turns up bad eggs, which are then destroyed.

If a constant tank temperature is maintained, the eggs should hatch in abou

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

As promoters of ideas to general audiences, there are reasons for forwarding generalizations about how big is big enough and hence I have oft-stated (and stand by) my suggestion that forty gallons is a good minimum for a beginner marine system. This is large enough to provide living space, allow for landscaping and grants enough leeway should the "power go out", something die, overfeeding occur

Smaller systems are inherently less stable, more prone to crash, less flexible functionally and esthetically. Plus, surprising to some, no real cost-savings per gallon

In regards to what "Funfishtank" has to say, I disagree. Whether you cycle fishy or fishless does not affect how many fish you can add at once after they cycling process is complete.
