Advice

For a healthy aquarium

   Food should be consumed in about 1 minute, feed the animals, not your aquarium
   Invertebrates should be opened and tentacles extended before feeding
   Fish should have clear eyes, rounded stomach, and alert to their surroundings.

   Feed a balanced diet, not all fish prefer the same foods - alternate at each feedings.
   Don't use house hold cleaners to clean Plexiglass - only use aquarium products. Chemicals can seep into the Plexiglass and cause toxic wipe out.
   Pumps aerate the water and assists the gasses to exchange at the surface area and prevents cold spots and helps bring food to invertebrates

   For water evaporation, mark the water level and add D.I. water or a reverse osmosis evaporation line. Salinity levels do vary from tank to tank, but should be from 1.020 to 1.022
   Change in the ecosystem may occur by adding fish or overfeeding. Add fish at three to four week intervals.
   Always test your water before adding new tank mates.
