Acrylic Aquarium Life Support Systems
When we hear the term "life support," we conjure up images of Mission Control at Houston maintaining the environment for astronauts in outer space. Yet the correlation is very close indeed. The marine life inside of an acrylic aquarium must have its life artificially supported by the aquarium designer.

Algae And The Reef Aquarium
Just about everyone who has ever set up a marine tank has to deal with nuisance algae at one time or another. Typically it will start showing up near the end of your tanks cycle, about 3 to 5 weeks after your setup. Some of the time it will go away on its own, in a few weeks, as your aquarium has a chance to stabilize.

Acrylic Aquarium Lighting
Lighting is a necessary element to the acrylic aquarium, both to mimic light as it would appear in a natural environment and for viewers to see the elements of the aquarium. Acrylic aquarium lighting also adds brilliance to the display. Natural daylight from the sun is required to support the animal and plant life in the aquarium.

Reef Aquarium Maintenance - Lighting
We all know about keeping the mechanical filters cleaned to keep from depleting oxygen levels. But may people forget about the importance of maintaining the lighting on their reef aquariums. It is not something that is noticed by the human eye because the change in intensity and color happens at such a gradual pace.

If a fish or coral in your saltwater aquarium contracts a disease, it is essential that you are able to identify this right away and quarantine any infected livestock, or you will quickly have an epidemic on your hands which will be distressing.
