The implications for captive saltwater systems and aquarists are clear. "High", stable water quality is requisite in maintaining a healthy marine microcosm. Tied in with these notions is the effect of size; volume is important. Obviously, "the bigger the better" hold

Reef, cold, temperate or tropical, etc.; and consideration of food use of the organisms (herbivorous, planktivorous, piscivorous) metabolisms (slow to fast), as well as density (light to too much). Tanks with half as much life in them are easily four times easier to take care of.

Contributing Factors:

Irregardless of the type of set-up, filtration, or livestock you have the following applies in terms of system shape, circulation and aeration.

System Shape:

Flatter, shallower, more square systems are easi

Perhaps this is because this method allows the new aquarist to have life in their aquarium while the tank is still new. The key to stocking an aquarium is to be patient!

The following is a list of fish, which, in our experience, have proven hardy enough to survive the initial "break in" period of a freshwater aqua

Species of gar:

Florida spotted gar, Lepisosteus platyrhinchus
A highly varied species of gar. Has more spots on its body and a shorter snout than many other gars. Easily mistaken for spotted gar.

Spotted gar, Lepisosteus oculatus
Long snout and spots. Spots to a higher degree towards the posterior of it

Spotted, Florida and short-nosed gars are smaller than the other species and may be more suitable for aquariums. They usually dont grow larger than 2 feet in aquariums. Long-nosed and alligator gars grow to a very large size and larger ponds are recommended if youd like to keep fully grown specimens. So if you dont have (or plan on getting) a large pond

Breeding Clownfish

Breeding Clownfish
By William Berg

Thanks to Disney's Motion Picture 'Finding Nemo', almost everybody is familiar with clownfish.
Clownfish, or Anemonefishes, from the family Pomacentridae, are one of the easiest tropical marine aquarium fish to breed. Clownfish regularly lay .

Question about rock
I am not sure if this is the place for this, but I had to start somewhere. I am going to be doing a 90gal. soon and wanted to know if I can use limestone as a base for my reef? I want to fill the tank with the limestone and then seed it in areas with high quality live rock. If I cannot use....

SE vs DE
I did a search but my searching skills suck I guess. I'm trying to figure out if DE is worth the cost over SE for a dual setup over a 75 or a 90 gallon tank, haven't decided yet, but I obviously want the most light for the least money :) DE bulbs are more expensive (seems to be), and the pendants are definitly more costly than a simple reflector and I already have a so.
