Plants for the Aquarium. Real plants offer a challenge to the hobbyist. They almost require more care than some fish. The water must be the right ph , the light must be correct, the temperature they need may not be correct for the fish you have, some fish tend to eat or tear the plants, some even pull them out of the gravel. In my opinion, the live plant is a hobby within a hobby. The satisfaction of having plants flourish and reproduce is very gratifying. There is nothing you can do on a continual basis to help minimize algae and promote plant health as well as fish health as the simple water change. This is one area where there is no such thing as too much too often. A stream or river may change water thousands of times a day. Best of all worlds would be a tank that is set up to allow for a constant replacement of water on a daily basis. Unfortunately it isn't practical. Change at the least 25% on a bi-weekly basis . You'll find fish and plants will do better and the algae will be none existent. There is no better prevention for a algae build up than this, water changes. Compare that to the alternative of constantly fighting algae it becomes time well worth spending.

ALGAE? You can now have a beautiful aquarium with minimum effort. Eliminate algae Growth Safe for fish, plants, animals and humans Degrades and dissolves organic bottom solids and scum. End result is carbon dioxide releasing through the top of the water after BI- AQUACULTURE consumes the nitrates & phosphates. Other products require the tank or pond to be vacuumed creating excess maintenance Improves water clarity and quality; no more green water Will work in fresh and salt water Cuts and eliminates odors Converts nitrites to nitrates Oxidizes Ammonia to nitrite CLICK HERE BI-AQUACULTURE

There are few things as frustrating to the aquarist interested in a beautiful aquarium as algae. After spending a small fortune the aquarist is often rewarded with a lush carpet of algae. Unsightly and stubbornly resistant to eradication, the algae destroys the aesthetics of the tank while limiting plant growth by competing with them for light and nutrients. In desperation, the aquarist experiments with various forms of algae control, including algicides, bleach dips, antibiotics (for cyanobacteria), physical removal, and the introduction of an assortment of algae-eating fish and invertebrates. Feed levels are reduced, light duration is decreased, until through trial and error an uneasy truce is sometime reached.

FISH DISEASES By Shawn Prescott, Member of Andre's Aquarium Club Aquarium Technology for the Beginner and the Expert Saltwater Aquarium Guide What's the difference between saltwater and freshwater? Whereas freshwater fish are found in rivers, streams, ponds and lakes, saltwater fish are collected from oceans and seas. As such, their natural environment is quite stable and they do not readily adapt to major changes in water chemistry or temperature. In addition, since nearly all saltwater fish and invertebrates are captured in the wild (many freshwater fish are either tank or pond raised), there are greater risks associated with handling and shipping. The risks, shipping and collecting costs, and supply-and-demand also make saltwater specimens more expensive than their freshwater counterparts.   A complete page on Coral Aquariums A New Page with updates on ......
