These two species require minimum lighthing and care. Reverse osmosis best practicesReverse osmosis filters consist of a sediment prefilter used to remove physical sediment such as dirt and sand from water. A carbon prefilter is also used to remove chlorine from the tap water. The final stage in a reverse osmosis filter is the membrane itself. The membrane uses rejection to allow only pure water to pass through, while non pure water is rejected out the drain (or brine) line. Reverse osmosis filters operate best with at least 55 psi of water pressure and the input water temperature of at least 60 degrees. Without these parameters met, the amount of product water produced each day is greatly reduced. Deionization or DI best practicesDeionization or DI filters strip water of 96% to 99% of all impurities. The use of a pre-filtration system, such as a reverse osmosis filter, will greatly extend the life span of the DI filter. DI filters also alter the property of water by removing electrolytes from the water during the filtration process. Avoid drinking water purified with a DI filter because the lack of electrolytes will cause the DI water to strip the electrolytes from your body. jobs by

Pelletized FoodPellet aquarium food is available in all sizes suitable for small, medium and large fish. Pellet food will float on the surface or slowly sink to the bottom, depending on the specific type of pellets. Larger fish and finiky eaters will generally accept pellets over flake food. Choose the size of the pellet according to the size of your fish for to avoid uneaten pellets from cloging the filter. Feeding Flake FoodFlake food is commonly overfed to aquarium fish. Keep in mind that an aquarium fish's stomach is generally the size of their eye. Feed only the amount of flake food that the fish will consume in 30 to 60 seconds. Two very small feedings per day is better than one large feeding per day. Excess food will decrease the water quality and increase filter maintenance. Flake Food TypesFlake food is the most common food for feeding aquarium fish. Flake food is available in several different varieties from vegatable flakes to high protein content flakes to goldfish flakes. These specialty diets are designed for specific types of fish to optimize their color, growth, and health in the aquarium. |
