The Jaubert Plenum System, if constructed properly, can work well, provided the aquarium is only lightly-stocked with fish. While we are sure some hobbyists would disagree with us here, we feel that more research is necessary on this fascinating subject. The original plenum method used aeration as the only means of water movement in the tank. We highly recommend that a plenum be used in conjunction with a Berlin system. The protein skimmer will remove other dissolved and solid organics, not removed by the plenum. The use of a protein skimmer combined with the plenum method may be the ke

Very solid materials are necessary for aquarium stand construction overall.

Lighting any tank is a matter of depth and delivery. The transmission of light is reduced at increasing depth. The luminary needs of the inhabitants will dictate the hardware necessary to meet the demand. For photosynthetic plants, algae and animals in water deeper than 24/60cm, metal halides may be required. For large marine aquaria that are long but shallow, modern efficient fluorescent lighting will work very fine like T 5 technology. Whichever lighting you choose, be sure

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

1) For most applications, using tubing of greater diameter than the volute fittings on your pump/s (intake and discharge) is not beneficial. You wont get

About Testing for Biological Filtration:

You will need test kits for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate to measure the concentration of these materials as your system establishes its cycling. There is a large range in accuracy and precision of such kits. Good inexpensive ones are available from such companies as Salifert and Aquarium Systems. For folks who desire deluxe models, look to Hach or LaMotte brands. Further, you would be wise to develop a permanent notebook
