Very solid materials are necessary for aquarium stand construction overall.

Lighting any tank is a matter of depth and delivery. The transmission of light is reduced at increasing depth. The luminary needs of the inhabitants will dictate the hardware necessary to meet the demand. For photosynthetic plants, algae and animals in water deeper than 24/60cm, metal halides may be required. For large marine aquaria that are long but shallow, modern efficient fluorescent lighting will work very fine like T 5 technology. Whichever lighting you choose, be sure

Powerhead venturis should not be relied upon for gas exchange.

Although I do use the air inlet in freshwater tanks, a high degree of precision in adjusting the intake of air is usually unnecessary. This feature is a nice touch if not a bit of overkill. Unfortunately, I dont see enough use for these options to overwhelm

Why waste the water and time doing this at this point? To check to make sure the entire system doesnt leak, and that the filters are going to work as they are arranged.

Let me relate one of my notorious anecdotes to you to hammer this point. Years ago, when I was young and foolish (instead of now being middle-aged and more foolish), I helped install an eight-foot tall acrylic system in a San Diego Convention Hotel with a friend/a

Both methodologies require harvest (pruning or thinning) to export nutrients while maintaining health and vigor of the vegetable mass. Refugiums are strongly recommended for large aquaria to accomplish some or all of the following as well: mediation of water quality, stabilization of pH (reverse photoperiod systems), plankton production, and as a settling chamber.

The overall approach to plumbing and operating a large system is simply a matter of scale when c

All involve certain elements the tank, lighting, filtration. The last is especially important, in particular an aspect called biological filtration, also known as nutrient cycling. All aquatic animals produce a chemical compound called ammonia as their principal waste product, and this material is toxic, even in small concentrations. Thankfully, there exists certain microbes (bacteria) that readily convert, cycle or pr

Fish Out of Water
Although Boni Comandante Jr.’s technique is intended to ship fish used for food, the idea of putting fish to 'sleep' and then transporting them without water is an interesting one.....

White Worms For The Aquarium

By Alden Smith

Every successful breeder of tropical fish knows that feeding live foods to their charges is one of the best ways to maintain healthy and active fish.

Live foods are overall high in protein. They stimulate spawning, and help to intensify colora.
