I have witnessed many set-ups that "got-along" with only an air or power-head driven under-gravel filter system, but I wouldnt go this route. True, the metabolism of all your livestock is greatly slowed at reduced temperature, but so is biological cycling. Use a vigorous power filter and protein skimmer.

Establishing nutrient cycling in cold water can be a long and arduous process; but not necessarily. My advice is to not

As you progress in reading about these marine system variations, you will find a definite shift in "difficulty", or better put, a narrowing tolerance to poor or varying environmental quality. Obviously all types of systems have a fluid-filled box, the aquarium, in common. Reef systems have more stringent requirements of water quality and lighting, and the smaller the reef system the more exacting the water quality concerns.

It is a fact that about ninety percent of "fish keepers" in the U.S. are really goldfish bowl, or other plastic "death-trap" aquarists. The remaining ten percent h

Brave New World Technology:

Fluidized bed, algal (turf) scrubbers, anaerobic denitraters, and oh, so much more are on the cutting-edge of new ways to biologically filter water.

Fluidized bed filters are additional borrowed technology from the sewage treatment industry (along with novel "out-gassing" rings,

Freshwater plants greatly benefit from fertilizer supplements that are safe for use with fish. Aquarium supplements should be used in almost all saltwater aquaria to replenish nutrients that are used up by fish, macro algae, and sessile & motile marine invertebrates.

Use a small amount (a pinch) per ten gallons at first (this is all that is necessary) and follow one of the proscribed methods above.

Time Frame: Generally 4-6 weeks. Again, a good idea to use test kits to monitor progress, and wait on the rise of nitrate, some algae growth to assure you the system is cycled.

Hey
They are very interesting pictures that you have there. I am big fan of discuss fish, unfortunately there are no dealers w.

30g Oceanic Cubes - What Lights Do You Have?
Just wondering what lights folks are running on 30 or 50g Oceanic's? If you have pics, please post them. Thanks..

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 day when the fuge light is off and the display l.

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?.
