How to Maintain a Reef Tank
Interested in setting up a reef aquarium? Already have a reef set up? Review our quick guide on how to successfully maintain a reef tank.
LED Aquarium Lighting
Energy efficient, low heat LED lights are the best choice aquarium light for reef aquariums. Traditionally reef lighting came at a high energy cost.
Zooxanthellae and Corals
Zooxanthellae are the symbiotic algae that live within the hard or stony corals. The symbiotic relation is based on the corals inability to generate sufficient amounts of food and the algae’s ability for photosynthesis and converting chemical elements into energy.
Aquarium UV Sterilization
Ultraviolet sterilization (UV) is a process to eliminate biological contamination, namely parasite fungus and bacteria.
Caring for Seahorses in the Aquarium
Commercial breeding has made it possible for fish keepers to enjoy the seahorse in the aquarium. Most common tank-bred species are the smooth, lined, or dwarf seahorse.
Soft Corals in the Reef Tank
No reef aquarium would be complete without soft corals. Soft corals provide their own unique textures and colors to any reef environment.
Live rock in the reef aquarium
Live rock is the foundation of the reef aquarium. Live rock also establishes biological filtration. Combined with a protein skimmer, it can meet all the filtration requirements for your reef.
Coralline Algae in the Reef Aquarium
Coralline algae commonly grows on live rock. Coralline algae gives the reef tank a multitude of colors and appeal.
What is Coral Bleaching?
Coral bleaching refers to the acute release or loss of the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae from the coral tissue.
