Reef Safe Hermit Crabs in Natural Seawater Aquariums (Saltwater, Sea water, NSW) Hermit crab species that thrive in reef tanks consume an almost exclusively algal and detritus diet. They also spend their days crawling across the rocks and substrate of your natural seawater aquarium (Saltwater, Sea water, NSW). Due to their size, they won’t disturb […]
Safe Glass and Rock Cleaners for Reef Tanks Numerous seawater aquatic creatures spend all of their time looking for food by digging through the sand. Glass and rock cleaners spend most of their time on the aquariums’ surfaces, avoiding the substrate and swimming in it as much as possible. Algae eaters that are reef safe […]
The amount that you feed your marine fish and the frequency you do so can have a dramatic effect to both the livestock and water quality. To decide how much and how regularly to feed a couple of things should be thought of. In particular is the species being referred to. Many fish would feed […]
It is critical to call attention to lighting being one of the fundamental drivers of algae growth in (natural/synthetic) sea water aquariums. Obviously it necessitates that nutrients are present for the green growth to expend, however simply changing the lighting is now and again the only fix required. As bulbs get more seasoned they radiate […]
You must have a complete understanding of the full picture of algae in your reef aquarium and its cause, excess nutrients. Having excess nutrients in your marine aquarium, both nitrate and phosphates, will cause an imperfect balance of nutrient input and output in your tank. Firstly, let’s consider nutrient inputs. These derive from two factors, […]
Controlling the algae in your marine aquarium is a challenge that many hobbyists are challenged by. As evidently it is impossibly to prevent any algae forming in your tank entirely. There are many forms of algae that can form in your aquarium, all to which come with their different issues and need different procedures to […]
Controlling Algae in the Reef Aquarium Having some algae in your marine aquarium is normal, but when it becomes overwhelming and starts growing at an uncontrollable rate you then need to consider taking some action. Are you being proactive with your water change (natural sea water, natural seawater, NSW) schedule? You need to make sure […]
A good old-fashioned water change (natural sea water, natural seawater, NSW) is one of the most vigorous methods in preventing and treating all issues that a marine aquarium hobbyist is expected to come across. A routine water change (natural sea water, natural seawater, NSW) schedule can limit the majority of issues a marine tank owner […]
Water Changes: How much and how often? From most studies that have been done on this subject, the conclusion always ends up being that weekly water changes are best. As this gives a very small margin for the marine aquariums water chemistry to become out of balance with natural sea water(natural seawater, NSW). If […]
When doing water changes, two things are done simultaneously. The first and most important being the removal of nutrient build ups within the marine aquarium overtime. Build ups such as phosphates, nitrates, dissolved organic compounds and hormones that inhibit growth. Most hobbyists view their water quality based solely upon nitrates, however just because it is […]
