Saltwater Aquarium?

Jul 10, 2008 by scottyg6370 | Posted in Fish

Im thinking about starting a 20 gallons. Approximately how many fish can be stored in the reservoir. How coral. Suggestions on what type of fish to put in a tank of this size. Is there much maintenance of a saltwater aquarium?

It depends on what you plan to have within the saltwater aquarium. If you plan to add live rock and coral sand, your number of fish will be reduced to a minimum. I do not believe in the rule of thumb per gallon. That is nonsense, but if you have not had tanks of salt water before I say or clownfish or damsels. For clown fish and damsels I would say the smaller species. Many young girls are very very aggressive towards other fish. Let me begin by Green Chromis or Percula clownfish. They are peaceful fish and they do not need anemones to survive.

There are a lot of maintenance that you have to do in maintaining a marine aquarium. You must have the pH, ammonia and nitrates under control, so you must have a specific gravity of salt to make your live rock and live fish. Not necessarily for the fish, but the living stones that you do.

You must do water changes weekly, the state of water, test water parameters, you must have a good diet for your fish, you need to know about diseases of marine fish and how to treat. You will also need to know about the compatibility of each fish.For example, if you put a defense with a Harlequin wrasse regular defense Harlequin is actually very aggressive and he has the muscle, it will intimidate wrasse around. But Harlequin defenses are intended for larger aquariums, not recommended for 20 gallons.

You can also add blennies your tank, it really depends how much you have decorations inside the tank. Make sure you are prepared to take care of the aquarium on a daily basis.

Anyway, for more information, please look for marine aquarium on wikipedia or about.com.

Hope this helps, thank you for asking ...............

How to Care for a Saltwater Aquarium?

Jul 10, 2008 by Aleasha C | Posted in Fish

I love saltwater fish and I really want to get a saltwater aquarium. I have no idea how to care for them, however. I do not even know how to configure it. I would really appreciate if someone can give me some tips on how to care for a saltwater aquarium, how to establish what I need supplies, etc. .. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

This site is probably the best site for setting up an aquarium of sea water because it is simple, but it goes in a little more depth than others. I used to set up my saltwater aquarium, and mine has been no causalities so far.
