The dynamic snowballs as waste accumulates, mucus accumulates, bacteria proliferate and ultimately become pathogenic; its the very thing that kills so many corals in shipping. There is also the simple matter that an increase of water flow in traditionally under-filtered aquariums often translates into prompt and improved rates of growth in captive animals. And finally, on more elemental level, effective water flow is necessary in the aquarium to prevent the accumulation of detritus, and worse - lingering matter that dissolves and concentrates ove

At "5" ammonia concentration has "peaked" and generally declines rapidly. Point "6" shows the same for nitrite. Both ammonia and nitrites are toxic at low levels to most fishes and invertebrates. At the time of "7", generally four to eight weeks into the set-up, both have fallen to acceptably low concentrations to allow further stocking.

Nitrates in our example continue to rise and might build to dangerous levels

Success is often hampered by other common flaws in planning and plumbing, like inadequate drainage (hole numbers and sizes) and the very rockscape of the display, which too often is crippled without a 4" minimum distance from
