Be kind to your fish . . . dont overcrowd your tank!

Fish get their oxygen from the water they live in. There is only so much oxygen dissolved in water, and oxygen can only enter the aquarium at the waters surface. It is better to be conservative when stocking your aquarium. Your fish will live longer, healthier lives, and you will save money.

In some cases, this may seem redundant, but this is done to emphasize the importance of these reasons to avoid that species.

A - Fish that should never be kept in captivity, period.

B - Fish that may be kept successfully, but ONLY in public aquaria that can supply their specialized needs.

C - Fish that are often kept successfully in larger reef aquaria, but usually do not survive in fish-only aquariums. This

No, every real cold/cool water system must face trouble without cooling. Dont rely on floating "ice bags, jugs" to keep system temperature sufficiently cool. Buy or build a chiller.

I have seen (and even written, a zillion years ago) how-to articles on building your own chiller; some authors showing how to retrofit a "water-cooler" compression unit, others ut

Water flow issues can literally make or break a tank. Some popular fishes express neurotic behaviors like "pacing" in slow flow environments: swimming back and forth against the glass relentlessly as if pursuing their own reflection. Some tangs, for example, will cease this behavior with increased water flow. Sessile reef invertebrates depend on accurately applied water flow to bring food to them and to carry waste away. Their very lives will be threatened furthermore in poor flow environments over time and in ways that some aquarists can easily overlook, like encroachment by alg

For displays with other heat issues (like enclosed and poorly vented lighting systems), powerheads used for primary water circulation contribute more than a few degrees to the water temperature, which can be a serious problem. Of lesser concern but still worthy of mention is the risk that their unguarded intakes

Refugium reverse photo period, could it actually fuel daytime algae?
I was just reading some articles about PH and whatnot (Randy Holmes Farley stuff) and started to think about CO2. If algae gives off Co2 at night time when it isn't photosynthesizing, then the chaeto ball in my fuge is doing just that during the day when the fuge light is off and the display light is on .. thus, helping to fuel alg.
