Frequently Asked Questions
Maintaining an aquarium requires a checklist of items. In addition to your aquarium, make sure you at least have a net for safely moving fish, proper filtration, sea salt for saltwater, an aquarium cover, a thermometer, and pH water testing equipment.
Live rocks are considered by many to be an essential part of saltwater aquariums to support their ecosystem. They act as shelters, hosts for healthy microorganism growth that act as natural filters, and more. While it is possible to have a fish-only tank system with more attention to chemical levels (such as ammonia, nitrate, and phosphate), live rock helps take care of a lot of that maintenance for you.
To choose the right aquarium, consider whether the size will be right for your fish and the room the aquarium will go in, the style of tank you prefer, and your brand preference.
