One approach to finding out how we now know all this is historical. Just how, when did aquarists figure out the nuts and bolts of biological cycling? Well, its sort of like the question of "Did people really evolve from apes?". The answer to both is, "Not yet".

Original marine systems were "semi-open" (versus closed) with their administrators constantly pouring in new water, taking out the old, and hoping and praying their thinly stocked charges would survive another day.

Starting in the 1950s in the United States, Robert P.L. Straughan and others popularized the use of undergravel plates, along w

This will allow fast and tidy removal of pumps for cleaning, servicing or replacement. Neglect to heed this aspect of proper installation has often resulted in many hours of hard labor and frustration by aquarists that have hard-plumbed pumps inline and then were faced with draining a tank to remove them.

In closing, by category, external direct drive pumps are admittedly not quite as energy efficient a

The upside is less and easier maintenance, better water quality, lower mortality & morbidity, increased carrying capacity with larger margins for error. In other words, more fun, time and money!

The downside is more planning and up-front cost. I

Well "Henry" decided that we would place the custom undergravel plates and gravel (2,000 pounds of washed #5 coral shell) into the tank without the above-proscribed test-fill. I can hear him now, "Oh Bob, dont worry, I tightened those plastic through hulls (in the bottom leading to and from the remoted filtration) just a smidgen with the channel-locks". Now, Dear Reader, you and I know better than to put a tool to a "hand-tighten only" fixture, a

He freely admits, that although he has had no problems with this arrangement, if he were to do it again, he would only place substrate in the fronts leaving the floor bare under the rock.

My first encounter with a sales person at a LFS led me to believe that you needed TWO mushrooms, a male and a female, in order for them to reproduce!!! Thankfully, there were a couple of salespeople in a more reputable
