How do I mantain a saltwater fsh tank with mostly tropical fish?
You need to get a book to get the entire answer to your question as a complete answer would be several pages long. Trying to keep a marine aquarium without having read at least one book will result in many failures as there is a lot to know and understand. The basics are a 25% wtaer change every three to four weeks, vacuuming substrate and testing water at least every two to three weeks for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, alkalinity and phosphates. Top • When the water in my tank gets low, should I just pour new tap water from the spicket right into the tank? What should I do before I pour it into my tank? Yes, you can just add tapwater unless you have a reef tank, in which case you should use reverse osmosis or distilled water. You should add a small amount of tapwater conditioner to the water before topping off your tank.
