Aquarium Live Rock

Please keep in mind that although the following method of calculating total head pressure is very over-simplified as it ignores resistance from friction as water passes through tubing, exponential pressure curves for water depth in return lines, exact pipe diameters and many other variables, it wont give you a headache as you do the math and youll still wind up with a pump thatll do the job. Please note however, that if youre planning a very large aquarium, a multi-tank system or any system which will have filtration on a lower level or basement of your home, we suggest you either do some more research or e-mail us for more help and advic

You will still need to monitor your water parameters regularly and perform water changes as needed. You will also need to add supplements such as iodine, calcium, strontium, magnesium and others, to the water periodically. Live rock helps maintain stability in a saltwater aquarium and it can become a food source for your invertebrates and your fish.

Reef Tanks

The reef tank is a setup that is primarily geared towards invertebrates, corals and anemones. The fish in this type of tank are just an afterthought. "Oh yeah, theres a fish in there". Reef keepers are more interested in keeping the

Keep in mind that every turn the water takes as it returns to your aquarium increases head and reduces flow. Keep tight turns to a minimum. A good rule of thumb if using 1/2" to 1" I.D. tubing is to add one to two feet of head for every 90 degree elbow or tee on the return side of the pump. The smaller the diameter of the tubing, the MORE head you should add.

If you reduce the diameter of the return line at any point, add a number of head-feet to your calculation equal to the percentage of reduction. If, for example, youve calculated a head pressure of ten feet in a 1" tube and you then decrease the diameter of the tube to 3/4", add 25% or

I'm not really new, but I did get lost for over a year. I'm back now and will be lurking here from time to time again, so please don't whip me with the caulerpa I'll be good. I still have the 120 gallon reef it now has more flow, better filtration, 500watts of HQI m.
