Understanding Aquarium Lighting

Marine life is regarded as the most beautiful of all life forms in the universe. An aquarium with fish, invertebrates, and marine plants, is a glimpse of the astonishing beauty of our world's oceans. Taking time to learn about the right equipment, and care requirements will pay off.

One of the main factors to consider when selecting the right size aquarium depends on the livestock that you plan to keep. Several larger species of fish will need to have sufficient space to live and thrive in the aquarium. There are a variety of ready-made saltwater reef aquarium tanks in different shapes and sizes available, and with a little luck, finding a suitable one should not be hard. Remember to check online aquarium supply stores, which typically have a wider selection than local neighborhood fish stores.

Components to consider when setting up an aquarium may include a tank stand and hood. More importantly, what you need to decide is whether you want to start with a fish-only tank, or if you want a fish-only-with-live-rock tank (F.O.W.L.R.), or if you want a reef tank which may include live fish, live rocks, corals and invertebrates. One thing to bear in amind when setting up a Saltwater Aquarium is its placement, as you cannot shift it around once it's filled to capacity with water. Therefore, careful thought and planning must go into the decision of where the aquarium is to be finally placed.

Other major components will include the right type of filtration system for your tank. There are different types of filtration systems available, and it would be best to read about them before deciding which one to get. Your filtration apparatus, including Water Heater, pumps and protein skimmer, will be powered by electricity, so you must be prepared for a power outage. Fish may survive for a day without water circulation, which creates oxygenation. However, other marine life including corals, inverts and microorganisms that live within the live rock, will soon start to die.  Therefore, a back-up power supply is a worthy investment.

You must select the right type of lighting for your saltwater aquarium. There is a wide variety of aquarium lighting to choose from, including metal-halide and compact-fluorescent, typically measured in "PAR" (Photosynthetically Active Radiation). Therefore, before purchasing, reading up on the various lamp types and lighting spectrums is recommended. Setting up the lighting is easy, once you understand the lighting that your particular aquarium inhabitants will need.

You will need to select a good quality synthetic salt, substrate, and live rock. There are different types of live rock available from different parts of the world, including Fiji and Tonga. Live rock is typically sold per pound, as cured or uncured. Cured is more expensive, because it has been cleaned and acclimated for immediate use in your aquarium.

Not all fish and invertebrates are compatible for living together in a saltwater aquarium. So before purchasing any marine life it is important to read about which are compatible together and which are not. In conclusion, you must do thorough research on saltwater aquariums, and how to care for the marine animals you intend to keep. Don't rush this process. Take your time. There may be some trial and error, but with time, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful piece of the ocean you'll be proud of.

Fluorescent Aquarium

Freshwater Aquarium Lighting: Brightening Colorful Marine Life:

Knowing the Types of Lighting Used in Freshwater Aquariums
Several different types of lighting are already available for fish tanks. Depending on the need for an artificial lighting and your aquarium specifications, you might need a specific type of lighting for your fish tank.

Incandescent bulbs are generally regarded as too ineffective for freshwater aquarium lighting. They use up energy far too high compared to their luminal output, and produce too much heat to make them suitable lighting for the inside of an aquarium. They can probably have some use for very simple and crude aquariums such as small glass bowls, but otherwise, you have to choose something better than these.

Fluorescent lighting is the standard de facto type of freshwater aquarium lighting that you can use for your fish tanks. It is relatively cheap and easy to find, plus it has a considerably high luminosity despite its lowered energy consumption. There are several types of fluorescent lamps that you can use for your aquarium, including the new generation compact fluorescent lamps that offer intense lighting capabilities of very high output (VHO) fluorescent bulbs without their short life span.

Metal halide lamps are considered to be upgraded incandescent bulbs in terms of their similarity in shape and lighting function, but their lighting capabilities are incomparable to the ole and crude incandescent bulbs. Their luminosity is so intense that they can even simulate the sun’s bright yellow light, and are perfect for replicating actual marine habitat sceneries.

Determining the Right Type of Lighting to Use
Knowing what the right light source to use would require you to answer several questions about the general features and characteristics of marine life in your aquarium, as well as the specifications of the fish tank itself. If your fish tank has a relatively deeper water level than the average aquarium, then you may choose a light source that is brighter and probably more focused, in order to keep the light’s luminosity as it goes deeper into your aquarium.

If your aquarium only has fish inside it, then you may just opt for low watt lighting from any effective light source. Don’t worry: you only need to replace it once in a while. Do note, however, that the wattage should be at around 2-3 watts per tank gallon.

For fish tanks with live plants, it is generally desirable to have lighting with a minimum wattage of 4 watts per tank gallon. It’s generally better if you can intensify the lighting, as marine plant life thrives better this way, but there are some kinds of plants that would need specialized lighting for them to live properly, so it’s still recommended to do your own research.

Ways to install Artificial Lighting Effectively
Hobbyists just usually place the bulb at a general area overhead to scatter the light evenly across the fish tank. However, if you have live plants inside the aquarium, then it’s recommended that you concentrate that light towards these plants, so that they can grow properly. Additionally, you should go further than just putting the light there and turning it on until the Light Bulb wears off. Hobbyists can create effects that can simulate day and night conditions using artificial lighting.

Marine life can get stressed quickly if they are subjected to light for a time longer than the light of the sun in a day would usually take. Likewise, they also get irritated easily when they receive less light that they should have taken in that day. So, in simulating the effects of day and night on a fish tank, not only are you able to get that realistic feel of natural marine life, but you can also make the fish and plants inside the aquarium feel at home, just as if they were living in their natural habitat.

Plant Moss

12 Tropical Aquarium Plants To Use From the Cuttings and Floating Types

Recommendations are given for a selection of tropical aquarium plants from the cuttings and floating plant types available. 12 are recommended with four described in detail.

A cutting, the Red Rotala (Rotala macandra) has soft delicate leaves that could easily be damaged if they are situated in strong water currents. In order to maintain the red color this plant needs bright light on a regular basis.

A temperature range of 22 to 28 degrees centigrade and pH range of 5 to 6.5 is suitable. Fast growing, the Rotala likes to go up to the surface and then goes on to grow with leaves floating at the surface. The leaves appear to get bigger and redder the nearer they get to the light.

A cutting, the Giant Hygrophila (Nomaphila stricta) is also known as the Indian Water Star. It has broad lance shaped leaves, is great for fish to shelter in and is also useful as sites for spawning. Prefers slightly hard water and a strong light.

It appears that snails like this plant so look out for them. A temperature range of 20 to 28 degrees centigrade and pH range of 5 to 7 is suitable. Another plant that grows fast and will need trimming regularly.

A floater, the Butterfy Fern (Salvinia auriculata) is also known as the Eared Watermoss and is really easy to keep and grow. Bubble nesters can use the plant for their nest and fry can shelter and hide underneath in the roots that dangle down in the water.

But remember that, as with all floating plants, do not let them cover too much surface area as this will restrict light getting to plants lower down the tank and they will die off.

It is related to the Salvinia molesta which out in the wild can grow like mad and cause lots of problems in waterways as it doubles its size over a few days. In fact they are prohibited entry into Tasmania and can not be sold or distributed there as they have been declared weeds under a Weed Management Act (1999).

A floater, the Java Moss (Vesicularia dubyana) is very common in freshwater aquariums. Like Riccia, it attaches itself to driftwood, rocks and roots. Java Moss has no onerous requirements or any special attention as it will survive in varying water conditions, even weakly brackish, and under all sorts of light levels.

But it thrives better under low to moderate light conditions and a temperature range of 21 to 24 degrees centigrade but it can survive temperatures of up to 29 to 32 degrees centigrade.

As you do not plant the Java Moss, you will need to fix it temporarily, for example, to a rock with some fishing line. Then, when it has used its own tiny roots to adhere to the rock you can remove the fishing line. You can also produce a moss wall effect by adding the moss to a net which is fixed to the tank wall by suction devices and nylon string.

It is an excellent plant in which spawning can take place and in which the hatched fry can shelter and hide. Egg laying fish that scatter their eggs would benefit most from this plant. From a maintenance point of view you need to keep it clean of algae which will have a detrimental affect on it.

Other recommended cuttings plants are;
* Cabomba caroliniana
* Bacopa caroliniana
* Hygrophila salicifolia
* Ludwiga repens

Other recommended floating plants are;
* Ceratophyllum spp.
* Ceratopteris thalictroides
* Pistia stratiatos
* Riccia fluitans

Boat Storage Preparation

Although many people across the United States have the pleasure of owner their own boats, a large portion of this population of boat owners really has no clue when it comes to winterization and boat storage requirements. Failing to winterize your boat before putting it into storage can and will usually lead to fairly significant damage being sustained. Damage such as cracks will ultimately lead to leaks, which is never a good situation on a boat. Corrosion, damage to the boat's interior, and fuel deterioration are all types of other significant damage that a boat will usually sustain when not properly winterized and put into some sort of well thought out and planned boat storage.

No two boats are alike so boat storage strategies will almost always very from boat to boat and from boat owner to boat owner. Because of the differences that will always present themselves, it is always a prudent move to check with the boat manufacturer or at minimum the owner's manual for your particular type and size boat before planning or implementing any kind of boat storage strategy. Knowing what works best for you specific make and model will go a long way toward understanding what is required to ensure your particular boat survives the long winter months while sitting in boat storage.

The intent of this article about boat storage strategy is to identify key areas and key factors that must be considered by any competent boat owner when determining what steps need to be taken prior to putting a boat into boat storage, what has to happen while the boat is in storage for the season, and what steps need to be taken once the boat taken out of boat storage for the season. Please read on for some practical and interesting tips regarding boat storage techniques.

First and foremost, a diligent boat owner needs to ensure the gas tank of his boat is 100% full prior to putting it into boat storage for the year. Failure to do so will almost always result in bad things happening to the fuel and the associated fuel system components inside of the boat's motor. One of the worst things that can happen if you fail to fill the fuel tank is condensation build up in the gas lines and in the gas tank itself. Condensation such as this will quickly lead to fuel spoilage. Have fun trying to start your boat's motor when it is filled with bad fuel. It just won't work.

After filling the boat's gas tank with good fuel, you should replace your oil. Doing so just prior to putting your watercraft into boat storage for the season will allow any impurities or gunk to drain, eliminating it from your boat's system. Changing your oil will require that you follow the advice of your boat's owner's manual so be sure you have it handy before getting started. The manual will show where the oil should be drained from and it will also show what type of oil to replace it with.

Always replace your fuel filter and oil filter while changing your oil and filling your gas tank. Do yourself a favor and do not skimp on this part of your boat storage strategy. Doing so will probably wind up costing you more money in the long run to have repairs performed when you try to take the boat out of boat storage at the beginning of next boating season. You should always buy the best products that you can afford so that they can protect your boat during it days while in boat storage.

Although boat storage in general is a good idea, knowing how to prepare a boat prior to putting it into storage for the year is probably just as important as the boat storage method itself. Simply taking your boat and locking it away in your choice of boat storage for six months will only serve to hasten the demise of your valuable possession so always be sure to follow at least the minimum guideline described in your boat's users manual. Failure to properly prepare your craft for long term boat storage is a recipe for major headaches down the road.

I hope you've enjoyed this article on the planning that is involved prior to putting a watercraft into boat storage for the season and I hope that by reading this article and following its advice, you save yourself some headaches later on. Remember to always check with your user manual before putting your boat into storage for the season!
