An ATO is incredibly handy and will automatically replenish your aquarium with freshwater that is lost due to evaporation on a daily basis. Without an ATO, you water level will fluctuate as water evaporates and salinity will not remain stable. You will need to have space for a 2.5 - 5 gall...
In general, there are several types of tanks available for you to set up. For instance, you can select from FOWLR tanks (fish only with live rock), reef tanks, coldwater reef tanks, seahorse tanks, and more. If you want a reef aquarium, it is vital to select the ideal reef tank. ...
1. What is the absolute maximum time these critters can hold out in a fallow tank, 3 months, 6 months, or more? <Mmm, more absolutely> 2. If I let the tank go fallow will it help to lower the salinity, or will it encourage the cysts to go into hibernation and wait for more opt...
Once a week, you should perform an aquarium water test to check the chemical levels in your tank. The most important levels to check are the salinity and pH of your tank but you should also keep an eye on the water hardness and levels of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. The easiest way ...
The refractometer's ease of use is further enhanced by its automatic temperature compensation (ATC) feature, which adjusts for temperature variations, ensuring consistent readings. Whether you're testing the salinity of your fish tank water or monitoring the salt content in your saltwater pool, ...
The ideal temperature range for anemones is between 76 and 78°F and the salinity should remain at a stable specific gravity between 1.024 and 1.026. Levels of phosphate, ammonia and nitrite should be as close to 0 as possible and nitrate should be no more than 2 ppm. Another important ...
But in addition to creating ideal surfaces for corals and beneficial bacteria, it can... Read more Wrasse Species Spotlight - What to Know about Keeping Them When it comes to adding color to your fish tank, Wrasses are an excellent option. In the wild they are considered a very ...
Short term everything should be fine, just monitor the temperature and salinity closely. Do you think you can buy another tank tomorrow? Alternatively, maybe its best to disrupt your caulerpa tank too and dump it all into buckets, then move this livestock into that tank as a 'fresh start'...
(2010) concluded there was functional equivalence between oyster species at intertidal and subtidal low-salinity sites. However, subtidally at high salinity the C. ariakensis assemblage was species-poor relative to C. virginica and the assemblages differed in species composition. (This paper provides...
