Air Dome Fresh Water Aquarium

The same holds true with more nitrate. The more you have, the less viable/healthy your aquarium water is.

Take care to not place too much livestock too quickly (variable with type of system, filtration...), nor too much in the long haul, nor over-feed the system... as all can and will cause trouble with overloading your biological filtration (among other things).

Too Late! Ammonia, Nitrite Too HIGH!!!

Should you ever find your system ammonia or nitrite concentrations approaching 1.0 ppm due to overloading, mis-feeding,

Achilles and Powder Blue Tangs for example, do not handle stress well, and are particularly susceptible to lateral line diseases and Oodinium.

Some so-called "experts" would strongly disagree with us on certain species weve named in our list. There are always going to be exceptions to any rule. Some hobbyists may be willing to slave over their sensitive specimens. Others may be willing to set up special habitats for certain species, such as Seahorses. Then there will always be the one hobbyist who has kept a fish

The most trying task to do is finding a mating pair. If your Oscar is adult in size, it becomes a really trial-and-error process. However once they form pairs they will stay together for the rest of their life. Probably the most common and effective method of finding pair of Oscars is to buy 6 or 8 young specimens (about 1 inch in length), and allowing them to grow up together. A mating pair can be identi

This is not the end of the world. Despite what youve been led to believe, the oceans reefs are not absolutely pristine, nor immutable in water quality. Their inhabitants have corresponding tolerance within a range and rate for different parameters. Similar to freshwater systems, your goal is to arrange for an optimized water chemistry, and avoid quick & drastic changes. For instanc

phosphates too high
hello again- Well my 90 gallon predator/reef tank has been up in running for about 7 months. Everything is running smoothly so far- water parameters are nitrate > 20 ppm, nitrite 0ppm, ammonia 0 ppm, pH 8.2, salinity 1.025, but phosphates are way to high it's about 5 p.

Common Cichlid Diseases
Like all fish kept in tanks, Cichlids are prone to disease. The artificial environment and closed system are the perfect breeding grounds for pathogens and parasites. Of course, wild fish get diseases, but these go unseen by everyone but fishermen and wildlife biologists. .
