In comparison to the pristine habitats where many of our aquarium fishes are found, the closed environment of the aquarium is far from natural. One of the most limiting factors of the aquarium is the lack of water exchange. In nature coral reefs, rivers and lakes are under a constant influx of fresh water. In a closed system nutrients are used up, or build up, causing an imbalance that can lead to excessive nitrate levels, unwanted algae growth, and other more serious problems. Check out the following technical pages for solutions to some of the most common problems of today's aquatic systems. TECHNICAL PAGES |
