To replace the tank and start the adventure right from the disaster must meet at least the minimum requirements posed before us this project.
Long ago I wrote about equipment necessary to run an average freshwater . I must admit that I do not like to write about such grounds - it is just boring:) but anyway I think the more we write about it wherever you can, the less mistakes will commit a beginner aquarist, and thus fewer animals will suffer by it, and even our pockets as well. Therefore, I also from time to time wyskrobię some platitudes.
This time I write, what will be needed in setting up marine aquarium in the mini version and why . It will be obvious to the experienced self-evident "morszczaków", but beginners should find here some useful information. Mark at this point I have, that he never owned a saltwater aquarium, and all derive their knowledge from the Internet. Of course, as with everything on the internet and on the marine aquarium there are a hundred different theories for each of the issues. The worst part is that most everyone is sure of, and each theory is sensible. We are not themselves able to say one hundred per cent who is right and who is not, so it remains We only select and try on their own skin, but rather their own aquarium.
read dozens of pages of texts and discussion sites and forums you can get mad. Most people are urged to stick with the generally accepted rules, and after a while there is a person who has the weight of these rules broken, and its reservoir even though it has been great. This prompts reflection on the meaningfulness of this whole great quantities of expensive gadgets and a variety of preparations available on the market. So I decided to draw their own conclusions and from a healthy distance to approach the councils of other aquarists and fashion trend at the moment. So pick up the only thing that seems to me to be interesting and meaningful, and what I would like to apply, or try it in your next aquarium morskim.T over the same reserve that this cycle of my "articles" would not say how you should lead your aquarium, only How I'm going to do it I . Will I succeed or fail, it will show time:)
basic requirements of the marine basin divide into several categories to make it easier to comprehend it all. In this post I will not dwell on the details - it will be only those generalities, with which I will try to draw a beginner aquarist, "what is it." I describe everything in more detail in future texts, because I want each of the following categories in a separate, larger article. If I find time!
first Aquarium - so as to set up a marine tank aquarium will also need:) If we are not in it to hold the fish and larger creatures of a higher sea anemones, large starfish, etc., is an aquarium can be very small. But we must remember, by corals, which we buy in the future were also selected to the head, that is, according to their preferences and requirements. To this end, before we buy something pretty and colorful, read about it first. For example, on this site .
second Filtration - of course there is here a standard division of the biological filtration (ie mainly nitrification and denitrification) and mechanical . However, the biological filtration in a standard aquarium is divided into more (przynajmniej!) in two ways. Firstly, there is a by any beneficial bacteria and other tiny organisms (On the same basis as in freshwater), which inhabit all possible spaces such as the substrate (sand, gravel), and the interior surface of the rock or bed in the filter. The second filter media is skimmer. It is a device which, in a nutshell, expanded water from our tank and the foam that accumulates in a separate container. In this way, water is removed from the various undesirable substances. The skimmer is needed in a fish tank, as a result of abundant feeding and metabolism of fish pollute the water so much faster. In the case of small aquariums where lack of creatures that require frequent feeding can opt out of the skimmer, which usually is an expensive device. case was the reduction of harmful nitrogen compounds take care of us live rock full of beneficial micro-organisms and the frequent water changes :)
third Circulation - in the aquarium efficient circulation is much more important than it is in an aquarium with fresh water. Oxygenated water washing down corals facilitates their gas exchange, provides food, substances needed and ingredients and washes with the products of metabolism . Circulation It is also a key factor when it comes to biological filtration with live rock, which is full of microscopic organisms that help keep the aquarium in biological stability. In this case, one might therefore move to a single basket circulation with filtration as providing intensive circulation should get us in a small tank in one go is also the issue of biological filtration.
4th lighting - lighting for most of the corals is the prime consideration, because, to the plants, use they (but not all!) phenomenon of photosynthesis that to eat:) The process is slightly different from what we know from biology lessons on the plants, but in this entry I will not go into that. For corals easy (and only those will keep us, the novice aquarist marine) generally requires a strong light as compared to the realities of freshwater, but when it comes to marine standards, it will be as a moderate amount. For the approximately 30-liter aquariums should be sufficient for example, after two fluorescent 11W (watt), making it a total 22w light. Why two and not a lamp, stronger? Because we need two lamps of different colors - one for white light and one specialist - Actinic - a very blue spectrum. And why, you'll learn about it in the entry devoted to the marine aquarium lighting.
5th Water - Water in the aquarium could dwell for hours and parties, so to prevent this, I write what I have to pass in this category as most concisely, otherwise the time just do not overtake:) Well, the water we we pour into our aquarium Marine will have to be a) as clean and b) salty. For this reason, usually need special filter system (RO + DI) , which we will purify the water (or access to clean in every sense of the word water from another source), as well as a special sea salt that the water we - how easy to guess - posoli.
is far behind.
slowly begin to collect hardware, so to you soon:)
