Marine Aquariums

You basically have to be a chemist to do a marine aquarium set
up, they require a lot of dedication time and effort, you are
looking at about half a hour per day at least. The aquarium set
up is difficult to master and then taking care of the fish that
go in the marine is even harder. I’m not trying to put you of.
I’m just warning you that this is for no light hearted or easy
going fish friend, this is for the avid hard bearing fish
enthusiast! They require the correct PH level and temperature
constantly, and also the correct level of salt to water level;
this would be the most important part of any marine set up as
the fish need the salt to survive!

Most salt tanks need a salt level of about 1.6 or 1.7. You can
buy tools that will measure what kind of level that your salt is
at. They also require a specific PH level; collect fish that
need roughly the same PH level or you could end up with a
disaster. The marine aquarium needs a complex filter system that
is made by professionals and is very, very expensive to buy. The
equipment, the storage and the fish are almost double the price
of a freshwater aquarium but the end result is worth all the
effort and hard work. The fish are absolutely stunning and are
worth whatever you were willing to pay for them, not only that
you are not limited to fish in this set up, you can have coral
reefs instead! You can have anemones and special corals and you
need only a few fish with some bottom feeders like crabs and
shrimps and this still provides a beautiful tank, but because of
the delicacy of the corals, it does tend to require a little bit
more work. I know you think that more work isn’t possible but it
is!

A marine aquarium is stunning when it is set up, but the
filtration system is complex, the materials and the fish are
expensive and the whole thing needs a lot of time and work,.Only
use this kind of aquarium if you are willing to do all those
things I have mentioned!
