Setting Up Your First Reef Tank

Article Category: Pets

Author Name: Kellie

Deciding to delve into the world of reef aquariums can be fun but it can be quite confusing, too. This is especially true if you decided to get one and it is your first time to set up at home. In this article, you will be given a step-by-step guide on how you can take the role of being a reefkeeper.

The first thing you need to do is research. Just like any other hobby you d like to start, you should figure out what it is composed of and what you need to have. You should also explore your options.

One good place to start is an online forum about reef aquariums. Learn about various sizes of the tanks, fish types, corals, sand, inverts, sumps, water quality, and everything else which consist a reef tank. Ask the experts and hobbyists on what the better choices are. Make sure to list the pros and cons and decide for the ones which you think would suit you best.

The next step is to buy your equipment. As almost everything is being sold on the internet these days, it would be wise for you to check online stores and whether they have the exact items you are looking for. If they do, then place an order and wait for your equipment to arrive at your doorstep. Contrary to what you may think, online stores of reef aquariums can oftentimes offer lower prices than your local fish store.

When you have all the pieces of equipment, the third thing you need to do is construct them. Start by reading all the instructions thoroughly. Make sure that as you read through them, you are able to pinpoint the part and know exactly how it should work. You wouldn t want to build a whole tank only to find out that you left one mysterious part behind, right?

Now, after setting up the aquarium and everything is in their proper places, test it with some freshwater. Make sure that there are no leaks. Test the lights too. When everything is OK, turn everything off and remove the freshwater. This is now the time to fill it in with seawater. You should mix the water according to the directions of the manufacturer. Turn everything on in your aquarium except the lights. Then just leave it overnight.

The following day, you may add your substrate sand, live rock, and the likes. Consider the placements and the room for the fish to swim. After this, wait for the tank to cycle. Its cycle may last anywhere between a week to a couple of months. Use monitors and test kits to determine how long your tank s cycle is. By doing so, you ll have an idea of what clean-up crew you ll need, and you can start adding them too.

Finally, when everything is working well already, you can start adding your fish and corals.

Reef aquariums come in different sizes. If you are not very confident in setting up a big one, you may choose to start with the smallest choice.
