Saltwater

Saltwater aquariums are primarily designed to house corals and other invertebrates (also known as reef aquariums). A strict maintenance schedule must be in place for your saltwater fish and other inhabitants to thrive and survive in your aquarium. The key to a successful aquarium is proper cleaning and maintenance. Your inhabitants will stay healthier and your saltwater aquarium’s physical environment will look cleaner.

• Fish-Only Saltwater Aquarium: This aquarium has a  variety of saltwater fish species with base rock (not live rock), no corals.
• Coral Reef Aquarium: This setup mimics a beautiful ocean reef environment with soft and hard corals, invertebrates and a vary of fish species.
• Nano Tank: Generally 30 gallons and under, as a reef environment it is the most difficult. Small coral marine tanks need a high level of care to avoid stressing fish or corals. However, a fish-only, 10-20-gallon saltwater tank with two Clownfish can be relatively easy.
• FOWLR (Fish-Only-With-Live-Rock): This aquarium features only a variety of saltwater fish species with live rock. Live rock is fragmented pieces of coral reefs naturally colonized with marine life including invertebrates, sponges and millions of beneficial nitrifying bacteria that provide additional filtration.
• Specialty Species Tank: This saltwater aquarium focuses on a specific species, such as rays, jellyfish, seahorses, etc.

Regardless, good water quality ensures health for your saltwater fish and other inhabitants. Remember that you have to be fully dedicated to this kind of hobby to avoid not only saltwater fish and other inhabitants’ loss, but also your money’s worth.
