As a general rule over our
many years in the Aquarium trade we have always had the ‘Golden
Rule’ if you take care of the water and make sure is kept up to top
quality your fish will almost look after themselves……..
Of course the first
consideration of any aquarium is optimum filtration………..a filtration
system should never be the after thought………it is far better to ‘over
filter’ slightly than it is to ‘under filter’. Always go for the
best filter that you can afford as it will pay dividends, and help
to keep your water quality in great shape and in turn this will keep
your fish very happy and healthy…………..

It is always vital to use
some sort of tap water conditioner, when we say that what we mean is
a product, usually in liquid form that de-chlorinates the water,
taking the harmful chlorine and metals out of it before it is added
to your aquarium……..
Why is this important?
Firstly to any aquatic life chlorine is an irritant, just imagine
your lungs getting clogged up with toxic fumes and acid being poured
on your skin? This is the effect that chlorine and chloramines can
have on your fish through their gills (lungs) and skin……………..
Then just as importantly a
healthy filtration system runs on ‘good bacteria’ these good
bacteria eat their way through most of the organic deposits in the
aquarium water that cause pollution and there fore are also harmful
to your fish’s wellbeing. And of course chlorine isn’t choosey, it
is put in our tap water to kill bacteria, good or bad………..
When keeping certain more
tender species, Marine or Discus for example why not consider
investing in a Reverse Osmosis Unit to take the chlorine etc out at
source……………Click Here
