Hints & Tips For Best Results

LIVE PLANTS

Once the water conditions and pH levels have

been corrected, live plants can be added to the

aquarium. Remember to empty some water from

the aquarium before adding anything to it.

REMEMBER LIVE PLANTS NEED TO BE FED!

An aquarium safe plant fertiliser should be used.

LIGHTING

No more than 8 hours of light each day and

definitely no natural light. Longer light times will

accelerate algae growth in the aquarium and has

no benefit to plants or fish.

• Specialist light tubes are available through

retailers for saltwater and planted aquariums.

• We recommend replacing the light globe once

every twelve months based on the light being on 8

hours a day as the spectrum of light changes over

time and may cause excess algae growth.

FILTER MEDIA

Biological Filtration (Ceramic Noodles)

Biological filtration is a process where toxic

nitrogen compounds such as ammonia and nitrite

(Fish waste) are removed from the system via

a breakdown process carried out by nitrifying

bacteria. (Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas). These

nitrifying bacteria need substrate with a high

surface area to adhere to such as Ceramic

Noodles.

• When starting a new system it is important to

remember that bacteria takes time to develop and

grow.

• You can speed up the process by 'seeding' the

system with commercially available bacterial

cultures / filter supplements.

• Over time this media can block up or break down

so it is important to monitor it.

Seek advice from your Aquarium Specialist if

either of these problems arise.

Mechanical/Chemical Filtration (Carbon

Cartridge)

This is the removal of dissolved organic and

inorganic substances through adsorption on a

porous substrate or by direct chemical removal.

Dissolved organic compounds are what turns the

water a yellow-brown colour or causes foaming

at the surface of the aquarium and need to be

removed.

• Remove carbon cartridge if treating fish with

medication.

• Replace every 6 – 8 weeks as the carbons

absorption capacity will have depleted.

• Rinse well before placing in the aquarium. (in

tap water)

Mechanical/Biological

Sponge)

This is the process whereby suspended solids or

particulate matter are removed from the water.

It is important to remove suspended solids not

only to improve clarity of the water but also to:

• Avoid smothering the gills with solids such that

fish cannot breathe.

• Decrease risk of disease outbreaks - there

are high numbers of bacteria associated with

suspended organic solids.

• Protect the biological filter material from rapidly

becoming clogged.

• Can also act as a biological filter medium by

providing sufficient surface area to host beneficial

bacteria.
