An aquarium (plural aquariums or aquaria) is a vivarium consisting of at least one transparent side in which water-dwelling plants or animals are kept. Fishkeepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, marine mammals, turtles, and aquatic plants. The term combines the Latin root aqua, meaning water, with the suffix -arium, meaning "a place for relating to". An aquarist owns fish or maintains an aquarium, typically constructed of glass or high strength plastic. Cuboid aquaria are also known as fish tanks or simply tanks, while bowl-shaped aquaria are also known as fish bowls. Size can range from a small glass bowl to immense public aquaria. Specialized equipment maintains appropriate water quality and other characteristics suitable for the aquarium's residents. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by ><>ANGEL<>< - Mon Jul 5 16:19:38 2010 How do you convert a saltwater aquarium to a freshwater aquarium? Q. I recently purchased an aquarium from somebody that was using it as a saltwater aquarium. It is very dirty and has salt caked all over it. I need to clean off all the algae and salt. Do I just use water and a scrubber or is there more to it? I read somewhere to use vinegar, anyone ever heard of this? Also what is a protein scimmer? The tank came with all types of stuff that I'm not familiar with. Can I keep any of the decor that was in the tank if I rinse it off? Thanks for any advice you can give. I already have 5 fancy tailed goldfish and 2 small catfish in my other tank that I plan on transferring into this tank. The decor is mostly rocks and fake plants. I removed all of the old gravel because I want to use the rocks that I had in my… [cont.] Asked by wtf - Tue Aug 15 09:40:25 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Vinegar and water will be fine to scrub off the inside of the tank. Don't use your regular algae scrubber though. Use something disposable so you can just toss all the germs and grime away. Soak all decor in a diluted bleach solution for a while to get rid of the diseases that may be present. A protein skimmer removes organic materials from saltwater aquariums and are not needed to create a freshwater environment for your fish. Good move not using the old gravel, you don't want bacteria in your newly set up tank from the old fish. I'm actually surprised that there was any gravel as sand is a more popular substrate for saltwater tanks. What type of filter did your new tank come with. You need to do some research on this filter because it… [cont.] Answered by clj2791 - Tue Aug 15 13:38:42 2006 What equipment is needed for a saltwater aquarium?
Q. I have a freshwater aquarium right now and would like to switch it eventually to a small saltwater aquarium. My tank is 10 gallons so I was planning on only getting one clown fish with a starfish or shrimp. I have a heater, an out of the tank filter, and thermometer. Is a protein skimmer and an air pump also necessary? Also my tank light is quite old and doesn't have the wattage on it, so should i assume that I would need to upgrade the cover on my aquarium? Asked by anonymous - Sun Mar 15 19:17:21 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. a 10 gallon saltwater are for experts, beginners shouldnt start with smaller tanks because the smaller you go the harder it will be, as a 10 gallon will have water parameters that litteray will chan ge daily. You wont need a protein skimmer on a 10 gallon but they have nano ones that are better than nothing. Even though a single clownfish in a 10 gallon isnt much, the water parameters will kill most beginner saltwater keepers.
