Introduction This guide covers the interrelated topics of choosing and maintaining substrate in a marine aquarium, as well as organizing proper water flow. These issues are closely connected, just like salinity and temperature discussed in previous materials. Sometimes it may...
Introduction This guide focuses on setting up a marine aquarium using dry reef rocks or bio-ceramics without using traditional Live Rock biofilters. It's important to note that this is a complex and lengthy process requiring patience, understanding of biological cycles,...
Introduction This material addresses the causes of dinoflagellate outbreaks in marine aquariums and effective methods to combat them. Despite the common belief that dinoflagellate occurrences are unpredictable, there are scientifically based approaches to solving this problem. Three Main Biological Processes...
Introduction to ICP Tests ICP testing (Inductively Coupled Plasma) is one of the options, and perhaps the only accurate method for determining microelements in marine aquarium water. An ICP test gives you a specific picture of the micro-composition of your...
Keeping a marine aquarium is not an inexpensive pleasure. Many aquarists regularly buy specialized products at inflated prices, often without understanding their composition and actual effects. However, there are many homemade solutions that can be prepared independently with minimal cost...
Structure of a Marine System A marine system consists of three units: Display – the main viewing aquarium. Stand – which supports the Display. SUMP – the technical part of the system located under the Stand. Requirements for the Stand...
Effective Removal of Antibiotics and Unwanted Substances from a Marine Aquarium In a marine aquarium, there's sometimes a need to quickly remove unwanted substances—whether antibiotics after treating fish, chemical compounds accidentally introduced into the system, or residual lubricant from new...
Calculating the daily consumption of various elements in a marine aquarium is a fundamental skill necessary for every aquarist. Without understanding this process, your system will constantly experience instability, which will ultimately lead to problems with corals and other inhabitants....
Introduction Moving from one aquarium system to another is a relevant topic for many aquarium hobbyists. Typically, the move happens from a smaller system to a larger one, as larger systems make it easier to maintain stability (water parameters change...
