3) Modifications should be made gradually; more important than any given point is the rate of change in water chemistry.

The healthier your livestock is to start with, the more drastic changes they can endure. Around the world, Ive seen "delicate" marine life swim into freshwater, sewage, garbage strewn areas with impunity. Life is not easy on the reef. Currents and storms are constant, theres more and less light, salinity, oxygen, Redox... Conditions are dynamic, not static.

Your filtration systems function is therefore two-fold; to reduce the amount, effects

The aquarium should be placed in an area where there is minimized environmental fluctuation; away from windows, heaters, etc. Being in the line of frequent foot traffic is no problem; the livestock will quickly adjust and respond.

Before setting up your tank it should be cleaned with appropriate tools and materials. Soaps, detergents and ammoniat

In a few substantive ways these specialty set-ups are more challenging than tropical reef systems; hence their order of presentation here.

Beyond a requisite chilling mechanism, less-than-room-temperature systems require diligence in their filter arrangements, stocking and feeding. But their rewa

One note on their use though. If you decide to purchase one of these, be sure to account for any reductions in flow rate or down time due to powerhead cycling in your calculations for total circulation needs.

One approach to finding out how we now know all this is historical. Just how, when did aquarists figure out the nuts and bolts of biological cycling? Well, its sort of like the question of "Did people really evolve from apes?". The answer to both is, "Not yet".

Original marine systems were "semi-open" (versus closed) with their administrators constantly pouring in new water, taking out the old, and hoping and praying their thinly stocked charges would survive another day.

Starting in the 1950s in the United States, Robert P.L. Straughan and others popularized the use of undergravel plates, along w

Clownfish, or Anemonefishes, from the family Pomacentridae, are one of the easiest tropical marine aquarium fish to breed. Clownfish regularly lay eggs in aquariums.
