What All You Want To Effectively Spruce Up Your Aquarium

By Eddie Dean


Beautifying your salt water fish tanks with stones and pieces of coral is imperative so as to make the fish feel at ease. Some varieties will spend their time feeding on the coral like what they do in the wild. Be sure that you clean up all pieces prior to setting them into the tank to avoid any bacteria getting into the water. If you are putting dead coral you could wash them in a bleaching solution providing you rinse them completely afterward.

You can see whether the bleach has gone by the odor. Coral and rock work are essential for some species of fish to feel safe and secure as they like to spot their territory and will return to the same rock every night for protection. It also provides them somewhere to hide until they get used to the other inhabitants in their new living place.

You may prepare to adding live coral inside salt water fish tanks as a class in their own right. Do bear in mind that while they look attractive, they won't last long if you have fish that feed on this coral.

Usually people will tell you not to keep algae in an aquarium tank but it is essential in salt water fish tanks. It aids to decrease the nitrogenous waste levels along with creating a source of food.

As in every aquarium, a new marine tank should be left to settle and develop before you include the living occupants. You can accelerate this process in a variety of different ways including introducing some base medium from an established marine aquarium. Don't be in too much of a rush though as you do not want to waste your money finding fish only for them to die as their new home is not yet equipped.
