Marine Aquarium Supplies
Marine aquarium supplies include specialised equipment and accessories that maintain a stable environment matching ocean conditions. The essentials are a quality glass or acrylic tank of the appropriate volume, filtration (mechanical, biological and chemical), a protein skimmer for removing organic waste, and lighting with a spectrum suited to coral growth and photosynthesis. Testers for measuring salinity, pH, nitrates, calcium and magnesium are also essential, along with marine salt, an automatic water top-up unit, a heater and a chiller to keep the temperature stable. Caring for the living organisms calls for marine fish and coral foods, water treatment products and live rock to support the biological balance. A complete set of equipment is the key to running a successful marine tank.
