Nano Cube Saltwater Aquarium

The creation of this list was not based on any type of scientific method, but rather on our own experience with the many aquariums weve installed. Each species on this list has consistently proven able to tolerate high levels of ammonia and nitrite, for at least four weeks, in the many freshwater aquariums installed by The Aquarium Professionals Group.

Note to Experienced Hobbyists: This is a list that was written mostly for beginners. In some cases, we felt that it was best to use the common family names that aquarium and pet stores use for fish, rather than actual scientific classifications, so

This is more important in saltwater tanks, where the high density of the water greatly reduces the amount of available oxygen.

The size of the nitrifying bacteria population in the biological filter determines how much toxic ammonia (fish waste) can be processed. If there are too many fish in an established aquarium, tests for ammonia or nitrite will be positive. The beneficial bacteria pop

Should you be a U/G proponent make sure yours covers as much of the systems base as you can, utilize large air-lifts, stones, power-heads to maximize flow, and be diligent in vacuuming your substrate.

Biological filtering action is not confined to the above modes. Any suitable medium with the systems water passing over it will sponsor bacteria populations and conversion to some extent. I do not like to rely on just undergravel or any one ty

Achilles and Powder Blue Tangs for example, do not handle stress well, and are particularly susceptible to lateral line diseases and Oodinium.

Some so-called "experts" would strongly disagree with us on certain species weve named in our list. There are always going to be exceptions to any rule. Some hobbyists may be willing to slave over their sensitive specimens. Others may be willing to set up special habitats for certain species, such as Seahorses. Then there will always be the one hobbyist who has kept a fish

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

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.....
