To keep a healthy good looking Marine system is every aquarists dream! The rule to this is that if you are guardian of the water and keep the parameters correctly then the fish and inhabitants of the aquarium should almost look after themselves. There are many water additives for the Marine aquarium, Iodine, Calcium and Strontium to name only three! Getting the right Protein Skimmer is another vital component of a good set up, a Protein Skimmer is another form of biological filtration, which takes harmful waste proteins out of the water. Other accessories are hydrometers that measure the salt content of the water (SG) These can either be of a float nature with a needle in a container, glass hydrometer which floats in water or even a hand refractometer that works on a calibrated plate. Gravel tidies, for keeping sand separated from the gravel if running a Plenum system or perhaps reverse flow undergravel filtration. Rowaphos which takes phosphates out of the aquarium, this can stop the build up of nuisance algae. Wavemakers to give your fish and inverts a more natural environment. Reef racking to help build up a coral or rock wall. An automatic top up system for when the salt level in the aquarium alters. Carbon to polish the water and remove any harmful debris, such as organic compounds. Wooden blocks for either Protein Skimmers or just to add air.
