Glass Aquarium Plans

Perhaps this is because this method allows the new aquarist to have life in their aquarium while the tank is still new. The key to stocking an aquarium is to be patient!

The following is a list of fish (and a few invertebrates), which, in our experience, have proven hardy enough to survive the initial "break in" period, or establishment of the nitrogen cycle in a marine aq

You will find, however, that many obligations to water quality are much more strict with a heavy bio-load. Testing for less common parameters like oxygen saturation and phosphate levels may be easily overlooked (and certainly more easily corrected) in a smaller system, but a large aquarium requires due diligence, patience and planning to control these and other parameters. They are subject to the virtues and limitations of their very size. Both good and bad things are likely to happen slower in a large volume of water. We gain greater stability with increasing tank size. Thus, climbing nitrate levels are easily observed in advanc

You can buy treatment for it and it should clear up easily unless you have let it go too far. In the future remember to clean the tank each week so you do not have a reoccurrence.

If your fish seem like they are gasping for air, this could be simply due to lack of oxygen in the water and not necessarily a disease. You could add an airstone to see if that helps the problem. Make sure you do not overcrowd the tank with too many fish.

If you see your fish scraping itself agains the bottom of the tank or the decorations, its possible that he has a parasite called Flukes.

Apparently they have never heard the saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Of course they reduce the flow rate some. They use that flow to create the spin. If Hydor could create a similar device that didnt reduce the flow at all, then they should reconsider their business plan and go into the perpetual motion machine business. J

I bought my first (and only) Rio Motion about two and a half years ago for my then new 1

Dump and surge buckets/devices produce excellent water movement but are generally noisy and inconvenient to install and operate. They are often finicky, and produce problematic snapping and micro-bubbles, and excessive salt creep that is unduly warranted for a home aquarium. They are also cumbersome in size and aesthetically detract

Complimentary Goldfish
I've heard of people traveling with dogs, cats, and even an occasional fish. But this Chicago hotel takes vacationing with pets to a new level. They will provide a goldfish....
