Aquarium Gallery Saltwater

Ahhh.

Lets journey together through these various components:

Tanks:

There are two general varieties, plastic (acrylic) and glass (with silicon rubber seams. Some important considerations: They are heavy when set-up and filled; about ten pounds per gallon! Therefore it is important that aquariums be placed on something substantially strong. Another factor is that this "stand" be flat and planar. For these reasons Aquarium manufacturers will generally warrant their products only if they are placed on certified Aquariu

As promoters of ideas to general audiences, there are reasons for forwarding generalizations about how big is big enough and hence I have oft-stated (and stand by) my suggestion that forty gallons is a good minimum for a beginner marine system. This is large enough to provide living space, allow for landscaping and grants enough leeway should the "power go out", something die, overfeeding occur

Smaller systems are inherently less stable, more prone to crash, less flexible functionally and esthetically. Plus, surprising to some, no real cost-savings per gallon

However, eggs will hatch in about 24 hours after spawning. Fry should be fed a live diet and if they survive, theyll be about two inches long as adults.

There are some amazingly knowledgeable people in the club who are very generous with their experience, their time and their talents. It really is an honor to learn from their wealth of experience in this hobby."

So, yes, given not so common sense, investigation and commitment, you too can have fabulous small reef systems. IMO, more people are likely to have more success starting off with larger systems, but I am very glad to count Tom Walsh as a mini-minireef success story and friend.

To insure that you always have healthy fish, you should keep the tank clean and religiously perform partial water changes. This will not only keep your fish happy but will make for a better looking tank as well!
