Solar 1 Aquarium Lighting

Intervention methods by aquarists; water changes, chemical filtrants, sped-up complete biological cycling (wet-dry filtration, algal scrubbers, abundant, vigorous live rock, macro-algae) can be brought into play to successfully limit the "bottle-neck" accumulation of nitrate ("8").

Expediency and Rates of Reaction:

Depending on such factors as the physical format of food/wastes provided, temperature, bacteria population dynamics, and oxygen supply, biological filtration in your system can be a forgotten breeze or an unending nightmare.

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

There is usually a control valve for regulating water flow. A check valve is usually placed on the filter intake to prevent the sand from packing-down when the filter is turned off.

Because water flows upward through the filter, the sand in the filter becomes suspended or "fluidized" in the water column, forming a fluidized bed of sand. If the flow of water is controlled properly, the sand does not flow out of the filter, but remains suspended. This happens because the flow of water is just fast enough to keep the sand in suspension. The weight of the sand prevents it from escaping the filter. Because the sand is suspended in wat

Most importantly, choose your livestock and identify their needs before buying a fixture. Too many aquarists buy lighting to fit a tank size without consideration of the living guests.

Options for dcor in large aquaria are limited only by ones imagination. A wide variety of natural and synthetic materials can be used to construct attractive and effective habitats for the aquarium residents. Natural substrates like rock, gravel and s

To keep expenses very low, PVC elbows (usually 45-degree) and nipples (short lengths of pipe) are the best way to go. Fittings for small plastic pipe generally cost well under $1 each, or several for a dollar in bulk. A single stock length of straight pipe is like-wise but a few dollars. Short nipples of pipe (1-3") can be used to connect unglued 45-degree elbows to each teed outlet. The tapered slip sockets of the elbows will afford a snug and
