29 Gallon Fish Aquarium

Although there are some vivarium and terrarium applications for incandescent lighting, we do not recommend incandescent lighting for normal aquaria use. Ever!

Fluorescent

The standard for aquarium lighting, fluorescent lamps are used in the majority of aquaria. Available in many sizes and color spectra, fluorescent lamps are ideal for fish-only aquariums and some freshwater live-plant applications. They are made fro

Aquarium additives are used to make new water safe for aquaria and to adjust the chemistry of water. There are two general categories of additives: water conditioners used to make the raw tap water safe for aquaria, and dry or liquid compounds that are used to adjust the pH, hardness and alkalinity of an aquarium.

Water conditioners are necessary if you live in a municipal area where tap water is treated to remove bacteria, algae and other microorganisms and contaminants. Water conditioners should al

Depending on what type, size, and livestock you want to keep this is an easy to more difficult task.

Type:

As youll see under the 5) Operation: Setting Up a Marine Aquarium headings, fish only to fish & invertebrates, to full-blown reef systems have increasingly more demanding requirements for "cleanliness" (i.e. an absence of metabolites). Whereas all marine systems would have a functional protein skimmer, fish-only set-ups often get by with little more than an air-powered undergravel filter and/or some outside power filtration.

Some water chemistry parameters you want to keep in mind and maintain your system at:

1) Ammonia (un-ionized ammonia) (NH3), less than 0.01 ppm

2) Ammonium (ionized ammonia) (NH4+), less than 0.25 ppm

(the relative concentration of both types of ammonia can be determined from separate test kits, or a table showing the relationship between pH, temperature, and total ammonia as ammonium)

3) Nitrite ions (NO2-), less than 0.1 ppm as nitrite ion.

4) Nitrate ions (NO3-), less

Now, lets take a look at a typical marine tank set-up; A small water volume, with lots of non-filter feeders, happily over-fed. Small wonder the battle to limit their waste build-up.

The next subsections delve into filtration methods as principally biological, physical/mechanical, and chemical. All three kinds of filtration occur in all types of filters; and all potential filters you evaluate for purchase/use should be weighed for their efficiencies/manipulation for all three.

Black Neon Tetra
Few things are as eye-catching as a large school of shimmering tetras. If you already have a school of Neon or Rummy Nose Tetras, consider adding Black Neons....

The most popular African cichlids come from Lake Malawi and lake Tanganyika. The cichlids from lake Malawi are generally more colorful, but t.

Anyone use Quiet One 3000 or SEDRA 7000 submersible pumps?
Howdy, Anyone have any user feedback on these pumps? Reliable? Noisy? I'm looking for a potential replacement for a finicky and LOUD MAG7. This is for a Remora Pro by the way. Thanks!.

Help Please..
I have to be out by the first any help would be appreciated...as i am one handed moving is difficult.. I am moving out of Pablo into ronan.. anytime this week would be great... let me know thx..
