Salt Water Aquariums

When we talk about Salt water Aquariums, we usually mean beautiful, exotic under water scenes with live fish and non-living coral decorations.

Most people want a Salt Water Fish Aquarium because:

1. The aquarium décor is exotic, evoking images of diving in crystal clear tropical waters.
2. The fish are brilliantly colored.
3. The fish come in a wide variety of unusual shapes.
4. The combination of exotic scene and brilliant fish makes for a more captivating scene than with fresh water.
5. Really large systems are possible. Currently our largest holds 1,500 gallons and is 40 feet long.
6. Normal service is twice a month.

The salt water fish aquarium requires a more sophisticated filtration system than for fresh water. Salt water fish aquariums are more expensive than fresh and require time for the filtration system to mature to the point where it can take care of the waste products from a tank full of fish. So a few fish are added to start and more are added as the filtration system can support the increased bio-load.
