We have been building aquariums for ten years. Initially we used a syphon box and trickle filter.Totally unreliable and ineffective. Our customers want a low maintenance system with limited maintenance costs. If you have several hours per week available to carry out water changes and buy salt and water then this system is not for you.
Marine fish prefer mature water. water changes can not provide the identical temp/salinity and therefore creates an imbalance in the system killing off valuable bacteria. The water disposed off down the drain contains salt and waste from the tank. putting extra pressure on the water purification system.
To keep marines buy a system designed to do the job.
Our cabinets are constructed on 3x2 pine,with 18mm ply top and bottom.12mm back panel. choice of front and side panels.
Not flat packed. delivered assembled and ready to use.
We endeavour to carry out site inspections on every project to establish any difficulties in access and location of the system.
We are able to provide equipment for our systems at considerably less than the RRP by putting together a package to suit the system we are installing.
Live sand/live rock are an essential factor in the maturing process. by using RO water.Quality salt mix the maturing process is substantially reduced to approx for weeks from 12 weeks by reducing the initial pollution levels of the aquarium.
Uncured rock takes up to eight weeks to cure and prolongs the maturing process.
The calurpa has to be a specific species as certain sea weeds are sensitive to PH and salt levels. Use only our Calurpa tested over ten years of production.
The roots must grow in the substrate to be effective in the reduction of Nitrates.
Why are water changes not required.
The system produces natural evaporation of water. this is created by the movement of water in the aquarium.exchange of gasses at the surface,flow of water down to the sump. this evaporation is what takes place in the sea.
salt does not evaporate only pure water and therefore its pure water that needs to be replaced. Using an RO unit and float switch the salt levels in the system remain stable and constant.
In the summer temperatures rise due to fluctuations in the surrounding environment. If the temperature in the room rises so also will the aquarium.it is effected by the surrounding temperature.
Corals and fish can not survive in temperature of 28c and above. A chiller is necessary and evaporation increases.
The succes of keeping marine fish is to maintain a constant environment of salt/ph ammonia and temperature.
The biological cycle is ammonia/nitrite and Nitrate if nitrates levels are high its the end product of high ammonia. cut down on feeding and increase bacteria.
