Aquarium India

A marine aquarium is an aquarium that keeps marine plants and animals in a contained environment. Marine aquarium are further subdivided by hobbyists into fish only, fish only with live rock, and reef aquarium. A stable marine aquarium requires more equipment than freshwater systems, and generally requires more stringent water quality monitoring. The inhabitants of saltwater aquariums are usually much more spectacular than freshwater aquarium fish. Usually temperature kept between 24 to 28 degrees Celsius (76-82 Specific gravity, a relative measure of water density, is normally maintained between 1.020 and 1.024 in aquariums with fish only, and 1.023 and 1.026 for aquariums containing invertebrates. Salinity should therefore be between 28 and 35 PPT, with the higher values being beneficial in advanced reef systems. Because salinity is by definition directly related to specific gravity, both can be tested with an inexpensive hydrometer or refract meter. pH should be maintained between 8.1 and 8.2. This can be raised with a commercially available buffering agent or through calcium-rich substrate. Carbonate hardness (KH) should be between 8 and 12 degrees. A calibrated calcium reactor can assist in maintaining both pH and carbonate hardness. Using purified water from a reverse osmosis / deionization (RO/DI) unit can prevent KH and pH fluctuation.

 Marine aquarium need strong filtration requirements than  freshwater aquariums. The various components frequently include Wet and dry filters and Protein skimmers. Protein skimmers are devices that remove organic compounds prior to their degradation, and are also very useful in marine aquariums.  Due to the scattering of light in water, the deeper one''s  tank is, the more powerful the lighting required. Color temperature, measured in kelvin  Light from the sun has a color temperature of approximately 5900 K and lighting systems with color temperatures >5000 K tend to be best for growing plants in both the marine and freshwater setting. 10,000 K light appears bluish-white and emphasizes coloration in fishes and corals. Higher up on the spectrum there are 14,000 K and 20,000 K bulbs that produce a deep blue tint which mimic the lighting conditions  underseas, creating an optimal ambience for invertebrates and livestock present. We, aquarium india understand the concept of how the marine eco-system function .
