Fish For Aquarium Easy Maintenance

That seal has a limited life and so will you if you neglect to employ a proper GFI (ground fault interrupter) for your wet aquarium station. What else can we fault powerheads for? Imparted heat a silent problem inherent with any submersible pump and amplified here by the n

Im a big fan of canister type power filters for several reasons; they require the least care, have the longest cycling/maintenance intervals, dont rely on gravity, adapt and can quickly to increased bioload/overfeeding. The best units use very little electricity and have long lasting, reusable media.

Wet-dry, reef or trickle filters employ a separate open filter utility/sump, a draining and pumping water-return mechanism along with various remoted filtration components. They typic

Valves are not emphasized here as they add considerably to expense, are generally not needed, and complicate a delightfully simple application to excess (creating a "juggling act" with one adjustment affecting all). Another concern is that if the manifold does not have enough outlets, there will be undue pressure placed on the pump (generally harmless for magnetic drives, but perhaps harmful to direct drives). On the opposite end of the spec

These low maintenance units are great not only for driving down the accumulation of the "end products" of aerobic nitrification, but also as harbors and cultures of interstitial fauna that can add a great deal of reef fish nutrition. To top it all off, the reductive nature of the denitrator dissolves the calcareous sand, making minera
