Successful reef tanks require a delicate balance and hard work to keep all their inhabitants healthy. A UV sterilizer may make it easier to keep your tank clean, but ease of use doesn't matter if it disrupts that crucial balance. A clear view of the risks and benefits will help you know if this type of filtration system is right for your tank.
How A UV Sterilizer Works
These filtration systems work by drawing up a small amount of tank water at a time, usually through a powerhead motor, and passing it over a UV bulb. The procedure kills fungi, algae, bacteria, parasites and sometimes viruses, depending on the strength of the bulb and the amount of time the water spends under UV light. Some UV systems claim to kill as much as 99 percent of the organisms that pass through them. The system can help hobbyists prevent disease and parasites in their tanks and get a handle on algae blooms.

Whether you're establishing your first aquarium, or expanding your hobby experience with a new niche system, small aquariums, approximately 30 litres or less, make a rewarding and relaxing project at home or in the office.
A nano aquarium's compact footprint make it a perfect fit for that empty corner or bare wall, and with the advances in multi-stage filtration and compact fluorescent lighting, maintaining a thriving freshwater or marine system is easier than ever.
Small-volume aquariums also demand special attention because changes in water quality, temperature, and fish stress levels become more pronounced in aquariums less than 30 litres. With patience, research, and a little extra diligence, you too can create a beautiful, healthy nano-system. Here are some tips to get started:
Pick a Kit - A hobbyist's best bet is to get a foolproof aquarium kit with integrated filtration and lighting built-in. That way, every component is a perfect fit, and you'll j.. [More]

An aquarium can provide a perfect centrepiece for any room and can be beautiful, relaxing and educational. While setting up a tropical aquarium may seem like a daunting task at first, this can be done with ease after putting a little bit of time aside to plan what you want to include. Before purchasing your aquarium, you need to think about where you’re going to keep it and what you want to include.
It may come as a surprise, but more often than not larger aquariums are easier to maintain as they need cleaning less often and make it easier to regulate the water quality and keep your fish healthy. A larger aquarium also allows more room for fish to grow and live happily. One of the most detrimental factors on a fish’s health can be a small tank.
There are thousands of species of tropical fish to choose from, some of which need more care than others. It’s also worth bearing in mind that some tropical fish may need different equipment inside the tank and.. [More]

So you’re new to the art of aquascaping and want to delve deeper into this beautiful new world, but have no idea where to start. It can be very intimidating and confusing for someone who knows nothing about how to keep fish. There’s a lot to think about, more than you expect and the biggest advice to anyone starting out would be to do your research first before rushing into any decision making.
When thinking about your setup, the choices you make in certain areas will influence what choices you should be making in others. For example, certain types of fish will require a certain size tank to give them the freedom they need. If you plan on keeping live plants too, this will effect what substrate you choose. Your choice of plants may depend on whether the fish you’ve chosen are shy and need shelter under larger leaves. Depending on what plants you’ve chosen, you may need strong lighting and so on. Balance is the key and it may take awhile before .. [More]

Aquascaping is the craft of arranging aquatic plants, as well as rocks, stones, cavework, or driftwood, in an aesthetically pleasing manner within an aquarium—in effect, gardening under water. Aquascape designs include a number of distinct styles, including the garden-like Dutch style and the Japanese-inspired Nature style. Inspiration for many works come from both underwater locations but also natural scenes such as mountains, jungles, deserts, waterfalls and many others. Typically, an aquascape houses fish as well as plants, although it is possible to create an aquascape with plants only, or with rockwork or other hardscape and no plants.
Although the primary aim of aquascaping is to create an artful underwater landscape, the technical aspects of aquatic plant maintenance must also be taken into consideration. Many factors must be balanced in the closed system of an aquarium tank to ensure the success of an aquascape. These factors include filtration, maintaining c.. [More]
