2 Gallon Aquarium Fish

This classification is also used with very aggressive fish, or those that can eat larger fish, requiring special consideration when choosing tank mates.

G - Venomous. Exercise extreme caution when catching, or when cleaning the aquarium, and do not keep if you have small children.

H - Fish that should not be sold or purchased because they are rare. We felt the need to emphasize this one. Imagine public reaction to our hobby if it were discovered and published that the aquarium trade was responsible for the extinction of a species.

Note that we have also included certain invertebrate species, which we strongly feel are being e

The Jaubert Plenum System, if constructed properly, can work well, provided the aquarium is only lightly-stocked with fish. While we are sure some hobbyists would disagree with us here, we feel that more research is necessary on this fascinating subject. The original plenum method used aeration as the only means of water movement in the tank. We highly recommend that a plenum be used in conjunction with a Berlin system. The protein skimmer will remove other dissolved and solid organics, not removed by the plenum. The use of a protein skimmer combined with the plenum method may be the ke

All that dry-goods assortment at the dealers comes with accompanying literature spelling out their use for particular applications.

This Section Heading will offer you the very basics of all marine systems set-up; the use of the common elements to every kind of salt aquarium. The following sub-Sections will delve into the particulars of the most popular specialties of the hobby, the fish-only, fishes and invertebrates, reef set-ups et cetera.

This is a very careful

This may be accomplished in a number of ways. One way is to place a couple of "anchor" pieces on the gravel bed, and glue others to the back of the tank using aquarium epoxy putty (not silicone!). The rest of the live rock may then be bridged across these supports to build the reef, but not too high. The construct should be loose, not tightly packed together, to allow good flow through the rock. Care should be taken not to direct flow from pump returns across the gravel. The emphasis in aquariums using

Dutch/Wet-Dry/Trickle Filtration: Next

During the late seventies, up through the 1980s and continuing with refinements, the modified sewage treatment technology was/has been/is a great leap forward in improving and maintaining better water quality. To a large degree, these units not only herald, but brought on the mini-reef revolution in aquarium keeping.

Such systems employ a wet and dry area above a separate sump to promote the activity of nitrifying microbes, outside of the disturbances of the main tank. The trickled outflow is well-ox

Blue Algae ( cyanobacteria )

Most aquarium hobbyists know and fear this type of algae, well actually it's the organism cyanobacteria. The appearance of the blue algae is often a slimy blue green carpet, quickly sprea.
