A good stop-gap measure, but not a long-term solution. You want to find the root cause/s of the problem and solve them.

Adding More Beneficial Microbes: Can be done by placing more cured live rock, and/or clean "old" substrate or filter media, or cycling products.

Adding Bio-Absorbers: Macro-Algae are probably the best known forms of photosynthetic life that can be added safely to help "take up" ammonia, nitrite. Caulerpa and Halimeda spp. in particular are good for this purpose.

Chemical Filtrants: Exist for removing amm

This can take days or weeks depending on if you want to take steps to "speed it up" just want to wait for the beneficial microbes to "fall in" and situate themselves.

"Used" filter media, substrate from a disease-free "clean" system may be used to bring in these bacteria, as well as numerous commercially prepared cultures for sale through pet-fish outlets.

As a provision for preventing poisoning from "new-tank syndrome" is use

Power Filters come in several formats; inside or outside of the system, hang on the back, under the tank, pressurized and not, wet-dry and canister. Outside power filters are pre

Initially (1) there is no ammonia in a new system. With time going by, addition of exogenous ammonia, a bit of food, some live rock... ammonia accumulates and populations of chemo-autotrophic bacteria that can utilize it as well. As these first ammonia-utilizing micro-organisms increase in number, their by-product of nitrite (2) begins to accumulate triggering the beginning of a second group of species of nitrifying bacteria (3) that begin to populate the aquarium, converting the nitrite in

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
