MARINE

Regardless of marine fish or reef keeping, this branch of the hobby requires a different set of knowledge from freshwater fish keeping or planted tanks. Any hobbyist intending to start a marine tank (or aquarium in particular) is recommended to carry out research to understand more about the requirements, as there are different factors that can affect the marine life in your aquarium:

Water Parameters (kH, pH, Mg, Ca, etc) and Salinity
Temperature
Lighting
Fish and Coral Nutrition
Flowrate and Water Circulation
Compatible Livestock

With the above mentioned, proper knowledge, equipment and long-term commitment is necessary to keep a thriving, healthy and beautiful marine aquarium. Thankfully, today’s technology enables hobbyists to replicate certain conditions of marine habitat and manage their marine aquariums better.
