Tropical Fish Tanks

Yes, I'm an enthusiast of tropical fish tanks. Ever since my first dive in California, to seeing puffers and my first Lion fish off the Big Island.

Aquariums, especially tropical fish tanks, are very peaceful and relaxing. The graceful swimming of the fish and the brilliant colors make for a great diversion from the stress of everyday work. If you've always wanted one but didn't quite know how to go about, just jump in and set up your first tank.

Sometimes I'm watching my fish when I should be working!

Getting started in not too difficult. Start with ah glass or acylic tank. 30 gallons or more will get you going. You'll have room to expand. Lots of folks get a tank that ends up being too small to add more fish. Getting the biggest tank you can afford and have room for is the best bet.

Then you'll be ready to stock it. The Discus fish is one of my favorites, but there's a nice variety of really pretty fish to choos from.

It's like having a little piece of paradise right in your own home or office!

  • Marine Tank Guide – What Is A Protein Skimmer?

    A protein skimmer used most frequently for saltwater aquariums is a mechanism for removing organic compounds from the aquarium water before they start to break down into nitrates and nitrite (Rot). In removing these natural compounds before they decay, lightens the load on the organic/biological and mechanical filter reducing overall maintenance. Protein skimmers are the only purifying system that can remove organic compounds other than living animals that will eat them. - 6 weeks ago
