Custom Aquarium Stands

A giant step in biologically improved water quality was taken with the introduction of wet-dry (aka reef, trickle) filters. Fishes and invertebrates live longer, healthier lives and maintenance is greatly reduced with their use.

Properly constructed and operated wet-dry

Many aquarists have lost animals unnecessarily this way - particularly benthic motile invertebrates, slow/weak fishes, and anemones & toxic sea cucumbers that wait until you go on vacation to drift. Guarding the intakes instead increases the need for upkeep unduly: a small guard clogs quickly, and a large guard runs the risk of becoming an unwelcome nitrifying surface. In systems with high flow needs overall, it may take 4 or 6 or more powerheads to produce the s

I feel that this amount of maintenance is reasonable given how much I liked the performance of this unit.

As for negatives, the units are a little big and unattractive, but in my mind so are powerheads in a display. Either can be dealt with using strategic placement and concealment in, around, or behind the aquascaping. I have also heard of some people complaining about these units because they redu

Each fish also limits the growth of the other fish by secreting growth-limiting hormones (GLH) into the water, which explains why some fish grow more rapidly than others.

Unfortunately, if a tank is overcrowded, fish that grow large in the wild will become deformed, as bone growth often exceeds muscle growth when oxygen levels arent high enough. Other fish are simply crowded out and die "mysteriously." This happens frequently in saltwater aquariums that are overstocked

The most common cause of fish disease is poor water quality so it is vital that you perform regular maintenance on the tank, making sure you do a partial water change periodically and clean out any waste or uneaten food so it does not decay and poison the water.

Many fish disease can be halted if you provide treatment as soon as you see any signs of your fish being sick. Therefore, it is important that you monitor your fish each day to see if there are any signs of illness.
