Aquarium Maintenance

Yes, as long as it is temporary it will be fine.

Aquariums help to educate the public by showing them real aquatic life and showing information about the species.

no because it is still 2 heavy and it will break

The best place to find a salt water fish tank is in the Marine Depot. Not only can you find salt water fish tanks, you can also find aquarium supplies and LED lights.

The fish is ill and may need to be treated with antibiotics, or the water quality is bad due to lack of maintenance

Yes it would. Generally any fish will live in tank so long as the environment is correct for that species. Catfish are pretty tough and should be OK.

It depends on the size of the tank and the species of fish that one is collecting. I can only give you a specific number if you can tell me the size of your tank.

most aquariums are much larger than one quart. A quart isn't very big when talking about aquariums. In fact most beer drinkers can drink more than a quart.

You can purchase aquarium salt at the pet store, but yes, epsom salt can be used without a problem.

Air is pumped into the side of an open ended tube one end of which is placed at the bottom of the tank. Air rises in water, so the rising air creats a collumn of rising water in the tube. A small material bag is placed at the top end of the tube and as the water flows into this bag it filters back into the tank. If the other end of the tube is moved around close to the mulm and rubbish on the (subtrata) bottom of the tank, the water flowing into the tube will lift the rubbish up the water column where it is filtered out and remains in the bag at the top for later removal.

It depends on whether chlorine (and other chemicals) has been added to the water before it is piped to your home. Leaving tap water to stand overnight will allow most harmful to fish chemicals to evaporate away.

The Tennessee Aquarium has an average of 20 million visitors each year. The aquarium is located in Chattanooga and is open 7 days a week.

Buffers are important because they control the PH or "acidic" balance.

To build a balanced aquarium in a jar, start with a clean jar that is clear in coloring. Choose aquatic gravel and plants and make sure to root the plants in the gravel. Then, add shrimp or snails and close the lid. Make sure the jar is kept in an area that receives filtered sunlight.

Which of the Aqua One models? They have a variety of tanks in many different volumes. I have two 30 litre ones and a 75 litre one.

They do not, considering that they will eat their young after birth.

If your aquarium is not level it could stress the glass and eventually cause a crack or break; a difference of 1/4 inch is the highest it can safely be

Not if the stand has flat edges and is on a level surface. If it is not level, then you should use the adjustable feet

Pet stores, like Petco and PetSmart, sell 55 gallon fish tanks. One of these tanks can also be purchased used at yard sales or on eBay. It is risky to buy a used 55 gallon fish tank, though, because it is possible for it to have indiscernible cracks and leaks.

Yes. It will need to be washed in fresh water then boiled several times in clean water and then left for a few days in the sun to make sure there are no bugs or things that could possible damage your fresh water environment.

Garden soil is not suitable for an aquarium (tropical or cold water aquariums). The soil will pollute and cloud the water with soil particles, debris and live organisms that could cause disease to the fish. Only use special aquarium equipment and ingredients: washed gravel, etc.

No, but you cannot use it on live rock or coral
