The Importance of Deep Sand
Mud! Why should you put Mud, of all things, in a coral reef aquarium? Well, the simple answer is that that mud will help create an environment that will almost force your corals and other decorative animals to thrive. With some 30 years of experience as a marine ecologist behind me, I can say that THE most important component of a coral reef aquarium is a deep sand bed, comprised of very fine sandy sediments that we can, without any hesitation, call MUD. In this article, I will discuss three things, first, the benefits of a sand bed, then how to set a bed up and, finally, some of the possible problems that you might encounter....Deep Sand Beds
For many years the UGF or 'under gravel filter' has been the mainstay of the marine aquarium industry and not surprisingly it still has its die-hard followers even now. Without getting into any controversial arguments though, let me just say at this point, that I whole heartedly agree that in some tanks and under certain conditions the UGF in all its guises has and does work, So I'm not arguing as to its effectiveness at general filtration.. For reef keeping though, the UGF does have some drawbacks. Firstly in that 'by definition' a UGF requires a media of decent granular size to allow the easy passage of water through it to keep it healthy and biologically effective. This will usually consist of a grain size no smaller than about 2-3mm in size (typically crushed coral sand or gravel). One of the big drawbacks with this type of grain size is that each grain has an ideally large surface area for the colonisation of problem algae, hence the deep green tinge common in the sand of UGF run systems. The other drawback to large granular size, is that it all too easily allows quite large particulate matter/ detritus to fall between the grains which over time builds up and starts clogging the bed unless the keeper regularly Hoovers the gravel/sand via the use of a gravel vacuum. Effectively the UGF is part biological filter - part mechanical filter. ...Aquarium Supply Necessary For Novice

As we all know rivers and lakes are the natural habits for fish and other marine life. Rivers and lakes have large surface area which makes maximum provision of oxygen for fish survival possible. On the other hand an aquarium is not like river or lake, it has a smaller surface area and there is limited movement of habitats...Where and when to collect natural sea water

Filtration is at the heart of the aquarium system. It is essential for the well being of the livestock. Modern filtration systems usually involve live rock perhaps with a deep sand bed (DSB). The trend is towards more natural filtration, and often macro algae such as Caulerpa is used to assist in mopping up nutrients such as phosphate and nitrate. Filtration is assisted with an efficient protein skimmer. ...
