"Enjoy The Beauty Of A Saltwater Aquarium"," Knowing the difference between the two with respect to cost, maintenance, etc.
Setting up a freshwater aquarium is cheaper and maintenance is easier than a saltwater aquarium.
Freshwater fish are overall more adaptable than marine fish.
Temperature, nitrate, salinity, ammonia and pH always have to be at the appropriate levels.
Marine plants are also pricier because harvesting is more difficult.
After a while, you will have a beautiful tank, excellent for soothing the senses and relieving stress.
To ensure proper salinity in your saltwater aquarium, a hydrometer is necessary, but also inexpensive.
Whatever aquarium you have, always buy good quality commercially prepared foods and never overfeed your fish.
Pathogenic organisms could be introduced into your tank, so it is advisable to keep away from live foods.
Quite a number of fish are not suitable for captivity.
Buy from a reputable dealer, do your homework before you buy and avoid buying species that will not do well in captivity.
Some fish also tend to bully others.
Should you notice aggressive behavior, you must be prepared to separate fish.
As an example of an exotic fish, many people think of the Moorish Idol as an ideal aquarium fish.
It is better to settle for the nearly identical Banner fish, which will live a long and happy life in captivity if given proper care.
If you establish a routine, you should be able to relax and admire your aquarium at any time.
Check fish for any signs of problems
Weekly: Check pH and other levels.
Check equipment such as heater, etc.
Check lighting equipment, etc.
Aerate well and check all levels before adding to tank.
