A saltwater aquarium usually takes about a month to cycle if done properly. Once the tank is cycled you slowly add fish and coral making sure to not overload the bio-load and shock the system. A saltwater system is considered to be a seasoned aquarium after 1 year, and by then is usually considered a gorgeous reef tank.
if it is cold and stiff it is dead it doesnt take long you'll smell it soon.
Coyfish cannot be kept in an aquarium, but it's not because of the answer below. It's because they are so badass they will break through your measly glass and run free as they should be, you fool! And if for some reason he cannot manage to break the glass, a passerby will because they will notice how amazingly badass he is and want to set him free. End of Story. ---- Hi. koi fish can not be kept in a aquarium as they grow as long as 36 inches!!! only suitable for a 1000 gallon pond.
about 5 minutes i dont know how long it takes to set though
It depends on the size of tank you want. If your going to your local store the pricce ranges may vary. If you want a good tank to start get a 20 gallon full set up tank at your local pet stores. prices start at $80.
about 5 seconds till it dies( depends on the type of ant, I fried the fire ants on my sidewalk).I don't know how long it takes to set the ant on fire.

Seahorses are marine fish, and therefore require a saltwater aquarium. Their aquarium must be set up for seahorses specifically because they need certain things to thrive. They must have slow water flow, good filtration, and live or frozen food. Most captive bred seahorses eat frozen mysis and must be fed 2 - 3 times a day.
To determine the type of water to use in your aquarium first decide which fish and livestock you want to keep. Most people start with a freshwater aquarium housing community fish. The water used to set up this type of aquarium is usually drawn from a sink in your home which is normally either municipal or well water. Municipal water typically contains chlorine or chloramines that must be removed or neutralized before fish can be added. Water conditioners are available from pet and aquarium stores. Well water should work straight from the sink but it may be best to take a sample of water to an aquarium store for testing. If you would like to set up a saltwater fish aquarium you can use municipal water, water drawn from a well, or filtered water such as reverse osmosis or reverse osmosis with deionization. When setting up reef aquariums with saltwater fish, invertebrates, and corals, most hobbyists use filtered water because impurities such as phosphates and nitrates which are food for nuisance algae have been removed.
The short answer is yes, you can use a saltwater aquarium for freshwater. When cleaning the inside and outside of any aquarium only use plain water; do not use soap or any other cleaning agents. If the tank is made of glass, use a razor blade scraper to remove algae and mineral build up. Use care when scraping around the seams. Acrylic aquariums require special scrapers to keep from scratching its surface. These scrapers are available at most pet and aquarium stores. If the aquarium has not been filled with water for several months it is best to test for leaks. To keep your home dry, fill the tank with water outside on a flat, level surface which can support the weight. Leave water in the aquarium for about an hour. If the aquarium holds water it is ready to be set up.
No.Neither Doyle or Ana know how to set up an aquarium.
A Balanced Aquarium is one wherein the Oxygen/Nitrogen cycle is self sustaining.
If you have never set up a freshwater aquarium before, it would be best to call an expert. Check Yelp listings for some freshwater aquarium stores in your area. You will find reviews on them and choose which company is best for you.
you take a bin put a cloth over the bin ,then you pour salt water on the cloth ,then you set it in the sun and let it evaporate into freshwater.
The choice is up to you. If you set up the aquarium as a vivarium for lizards why should it not be used to keep a lizard in.
It would take you 2-3 years to set it up and to take it down 2-3 years aswell and that's a long time
It depends. If you are working alone, expect it to take a few hours to do. If you have people helping you, it will not take as long.
