How To Build Fish Aquarium

erhaps even an engineered or DIY tower of some sort? How big is your pump? Where should it be placed? What about sizing the tubing to/from it? Should you leave open/space for adding other discharges, returns for a sump/refugium later?

All these issues and more should be considered before even buying your tank... as both glass and acrylic models can be custom-ordered/made and the former are much easier to drill/fit for lines before assembly. Check with your dealer or fabricator r

.. look around as there are some very large price differences here.

3) Number can be important as Ive said... what happens if you have just one through-put and it somehow gets blocked (happens all the time)... will the second and possibly only other one be enough to prevent water from going on your floor, your neighbors ceiling...? In the face of paying to replace burnt out pump/s, ruined flooring, moving expenses.... another through-put or two is cheap!

4) Placement is important. You dont want to drill the holes for or place your through-put fittings too close to the top, corners, or edge o

Some water gardeners continue to feed their fish until they no longer come to the surface. I stop feeding my pond fish when the water falls below 42 F.
There is no need to worry about "frozen fish" if a section of the pond is at least 18 inches deep. Pond fish will seek the deepest part of the pond and over-winter there until the water warms in the spring. If your pond is less than 18 inches deep, the fish may freeze during a harsh winter. Check with your local pond supplier if you live in an area with harsh winters.
Some water gardeners with shallow ponds attempt to keep their koi and goldfish in kiddie pools or aquariums set up in a cool basem

It was to be placed prominently in the center of the tank. One of my E. G. Danner/Supreme Mag-Drive 1200 return pumps was to supply it with water flow through 1 PVC pipe reduced down to at the junction to the Motion unit. When I first got the tank setup, it ran beautifully, rotating nicely and consistently, for all of three days. Then it jammed. I removed it, cleaned it, and returned it into pla

You have a few options, trying to reduce the toxic compounds through dilution, addition of anaerobic bacteria, adding macro-life to absorb the chemicals, selective chemical filtration, or moving the livestock to a system where there are less toxic conditions.

Dilution Solution: This is a matter of removing the ammonia, nitrite laden water and replacing it with pr

Where to place my Zoa's??
I was wondering how much light most Zoa's need. I am thinking of putting the new frags lower in the tank, right on the sand bed or just a little above. I have a 26" deep tank and I am using 250W MH and pc Actinics for lighting. I have some zoos that are doing fine in the mid section of the tank and a large colony that is quite near the surface that is also doing well. I .
