Aquarium Basics

Aquarium Basics serves to help novice fish owners get off on the right foot in creating healthy, balanced aquariums without confusion arising from contradictory information. This guide includes coverage of tank setup, equipment kinds, water quality, cycling, filtration, feeding, stocking, maintenance, freshwater aquariums, planted aquariums, saltwater systems, aquarist reef tanks, etc. Thus, whether one opts for a new tank or modifies the existing one, the advice remains always the same: be informed about how an aquarium functions as a living system and get the fish they need.
