Brackish tank types

Fish

Only saltwater fish tank option is the most accessible of the three, because it does not require installing expensive lighting. This type of Aquarium, however, is not the most easily taken together. Setup can take a long time while you wait for the etymology of nitrogen to complete, and maintenance is seamlessly, as the tank is the more frequent. With no live rock in the tank is less filtering and will need to change the water on a consistent basis to remove excess nitrates from the water.

As you probably already guessed, a fish-only tank only to fish, although it is possible to add other critters to the mixture, such as snails and hermit crabs, if you want to have greater diversity in your Marine Aquarium and more efficient management of the formation of algae.

Only aquarium fish may be well to the community or semi-vitreous aggressive tank. Community tank contains fish, which work well together while semi-vitreous aggressive tank is home to lone fish from a variety of different types. In most cases, however, is a good idea to stick to the same type in one tank.

Fish only with live rock

This type of Aquarium in exactly the same as fish-only tank with the exception of live rock and superior lighting. Live rock makes return because of its natural filtration characteristics, which is the best way to keep the brackish aquariums, clean and safe for your fish. Organisms that live in and on the scale contribute to the process of filtering and aid in the nitrogen cycle. Less nitrate levels build up in the tank because the porous nature of live rock them filters from the water.

Although live rock is an exceptional biological filtration system, your brackish Aquarium still will require support and frequent water changes. Add iodine, calcium, strontium, magnesium and other minerals in regularly to keep the water healthy.

Fiji rock is best live rock, you can get, but also is the most expensive (live rock is not cheap). Live rock tank, requires 1-2 pounds of live rock per gallon aquarium. Prices of live rock varies depending on the region.

Live rock also provides food for your fish.

Tanks for the reef

Reef tanks are for invertebrates, corals and anemones. Most people set this type of fuel tanks for storage of reef-if there are fish in the reservoir they are not the main attraction.

This is a costly type of Aquarium to be maintained, as invertebrates, corals, anemones and costs a lot to keep.

Only an experienced aquarist creates a reef tank, because they can be difficult to maintain. You need to maintain excellent water conditions, use of expensive lighting, use reverse osmosis water, or deionized water, add-ins and purchased live rock for filtering.
