For starters, corals are animals and not plants, as people used to believe earlier. As they are animals, they can follow animalistic eating patterns, which mean selecting their own food and ingesting what they can eat. written by Richard Gilliland Most basic aquariums come with lighting already installed, but you can also buy lights if you want something different. For a novice the lighting in your aquarium should be sufficient if it's fluorescent, however, this only applies to freshwater tanks. If you plan on setting up a saltwater aquarium, better lighting is a must. written by Richard Gilliland If you have a home aquarium, chances are you already have several filtration units taking care of the water. A UV sterilizer is a good addition to an aquarium, although it should be the last stage of the filtration process. It's important that aquarium water passes through the mechanical filter before moving through the UV unit. written by Richard Gilliland You should get the widest tank you have available considering the space you have to allocate for it.

Theater and amusement park tickets have shot through the roof and once you get in, you are at their mercy at the food stands.

And no matter on what continent you live, you can start thinking about the summer season. I did just that and came to think about the Australian beaches. written by Peter Barry Cunningham The aquarist running a fish only aquarium has gained a great deal of valuable knowledge about husbandry. He/she has also been able to keep fish that the reef aquarist cannot. These fish are considered as not ‘reef friendly.’
This is the first consideration before any move is made towards a reef aquarium. The aquarist will know the fish being kept - are they reef friendly? If there is any doubt then research is needed. Chances should not be taken. If the aquarist cannot bear to part with any fish then either the aspiration for a reef aquarium should go, or a reef aquarium should be set up separately. written by Peter Barry Cunningham A maintenance free aquarium - no work at all! Just view and enjoy the coral colours and the various reef fish. Many or perhaps all aquarists would tend to call that aquatic heaven - maybe.

Is there a way that the aquarist can design a marine system where, once all is settled and mature, there is nothing else to do? written by Peter Barry Cunningham Quite a number of freshwater aquarists are tempted to keep marines because they see a stunning aquarium somewhere, or they realize that keeping marines is not as difficult as they first thought, or they feel they have accumulated enough experience to make the change. Not all freshwater aquarists are the same of course. There are some really beautiful decorated freshwater aquariums about, and keeping one of these is as difficult as a reef aquarium. written by Peter Barry Cunningham Whatever the reason the need arose to move an aquarium, and the sump if there is one, it is an action aquarists would mostly prefer to avoid. Avoidance unfortunately is usually not an option. written by Peter Barry Cunningham The marine aquarium hobby was once viewed as very hard, very expensive, and needing a touch of magic. The first two were correct, but not the latter, that simply being how it probably appeared to anyone not in the hobby but perhaps with a spattering of knowledge. There was little knowledge of the needs of captive marine life, and for the most part (the biggest most part) only very hardy life in very small numbers survived for any length of time, and that was usually measured in months. written by David Tang If you don’t know what Crocs are, then you have probably been under a rock for the past few years. Crocs are the fashion challenged footwear that has revolutionized durability and comfort in shoes.
