Hi, Im from a country where we have access to sea very easily. Im interested in keeping a marine aquarium but I still dont know how to keep the ph and celcium level and etc. At the moment I have an aquarium and I am keepin pretty good stuff. But I am afraid that I may have to encounter those problems.
My question is what are the things that I can do to keep my aquarium better? Here are the things I have at the moment.
1. Size is 4'2'2' and i have an improvised bio filter 3',18",18", I use that as a sump as well. But that is in out door.
2. For lighting I have, three flourisent tubes of 4' each, brand is triton and moon light. That is because of inavalibility of marine aquarium equipments in my country,but I need your suggestions on how can I get better quality stuff.
3. I make current movements with four powerheads.2200l/h,1100l/h,880l/h and 440l/h.
I need to know whether this is enough or not and the things I can do to improve.
4. Filters. I have a Eham pump and a home made skimmer 4'tall. I need more info on this subject aswell.
4. The only thing I do for maintenance is that I keep the salinity level equal to our sea.n I check that with a hydrometer and that surves me well I think. Whats your suggestion?
Other than that I have no idea about how to care for my system. But I am badly in need of help to learn more. Sorry for writing so long but I need help,pls.
