HOW TO SET UPA MARINE AQUARIUM?1pick a place for your aquarium2decide on a size!Make sure to find a spot with close proximity of sockets(there’ll be lots of equipment to plug in!) and no directsunlight. Remember, that aquarium filled with water canweight even few hundred kilograms, so it won’t be possibleto move it later. Tank inhabitants need some peace too, it’sbest to set the tank in a quiet place.Remember, that it’s always easier to maintain stableparameters in a bigger tank and stability is the key to reefingsuccess! On the other hand, owning a nano tank will let youcheck if reefing is really your thing.www.aquaforest.eu

3choose the aquarium typeFish and coral cast you keep, determinate which products you should use.Reed more about our reef formulas on page: aquaforest.eu/formulaOf course, at the beginning AF Starter Packwill supply you with everything you need.4pick the right equipment!In order to make your aquarium system function properly, you’ll needmore than aquarium and cabinet. The typical aquarium set consists of:1.AQUARIUM, CABINET & SUMP2.PLUMBING ELEMENTS – pipes & valves to connect your display aquarium with thesump3.CIRCULATION PUMPS – to provide necessary water movement4.RETURN PUMP – to pump water from the sump up to the display tank5.HEATER – to keep the optimal temperature6.LIGHT – to make sure your fish and corals (that photosynthesize!) get enough of light7.FILTRATION SOCK/MEDIA REACTOR – you need to put the filtration mediasomewhere! Efficient filtration system will help you avoid many latter problems.8.SKIMMER – to get rid of food leftovers and other substances, that for your aquariums’healthy should be regularly removed from the water5create some living space!When all the necessary gear is collected, it’s high timefor some creative work Make sure to use qualityrock that will create a good environment for placingyour corals and also for bacteria multiplication. UsingAF Rock you can create your dream looking reef. Applysome Stone Fix to bond elements together. When it’ssolid bonded place the construction in your aquarium.Add AF Bio Sand (make sure to follow the usagemanual) to complete your aquascape.www.aquaforest.eu

6fill your aquarium with saltwaterYou can use AF Perfect Water which is a premixed salt water or prepare it yourself. If you want to do this yourself24 Celsius degrees (75 F) RODI water and dissolve your salt of choice in it. From the wide range of Aquaforestproducts, for less demanding aquariums (mixed-reef with smaller amount of fish) we strongly recommend usingReef Salt or AF Perfect Water which is a ready to use ICP-tested salt mix with steady parameters. For fish-onlyaquariums we advise Sea Salt.7boost the biologyIn your media reactor or filtration sock place some Life Bio Fil. It’s alreadysettled with bacteria, but we also advise boosting tank maturation withBio S – a selection of nitrifying bacteria for aquarium start up.8take care of filtrationWe strongly advise to use Phosphate Minus when setting up a new aquarium – it’ll absorb phosphate and silicatesfrom water. After 14 days of tank functioning, add Carbon to your filter.9let it matureEach tank needs time to mature, meaning that it needs to stabilizeits chemistry and biology. Before that you shouldn’t put any fish orcorals there! Keep on daily dosing Bio S and be patient!10test itIf water tests shows no ammonia or NO2 presence we can add ourfirst livestock. The most important thing to do is adding a clean upcrew to the aquarium. Firstly add snails, crabs and shrimps. Youshould also feed your clean up crew from time to time.

11keep the nutrients lowIt’s important to keep NO3 and PO4 levels low. In order to do this we advise to use -NP Pro & Pro Bio S combined.12stock it furtherMaturing aquariums very often struggle with diatom blooms. It’s completely normal and shouldn’tworry you. After the diatoms disappear and the first corals we’ve put into the aquarium are fine,extending polyps – aquarium may be further stocked. Before introducing decorative fish, startwith corals.If all the parameters look fine, think of easy specieslike: caulastrea candy cane, sinularia, pseudogorgonia,euphyllia, seriatopora callendrium, seriatopora hystrix,stylophora. After they acclimate, you can start feeding withcoral foods and supplements (AF Amino Mix, AF Build,AF Energy, AF Vitality).When few weeks pass, if everything looks fine and healthy,you can slowly introduce decorative fish (clownfish, gobiodon,cardinal and tangs). In a tank with really stable parameters youcan introduce anthias. After a time, you can introduce moredifficult, demanding corals and fish.Remember to test your water regularly and keep an eye on theparameters! Enjoy!TIPS TO GET STARTED! before filling your aquarium with saltwater, you can check the system for water tightness byusing freshwater in order to accelerate maturation process, you can put a cube of frozen food in the water as long as there are no animals in your aquarium, you can raise the main parameters withoutlimits, if they're not in range if you plan to keep an SPS tank, don't put in soft corals - they're really expansive and havedifferent requirements than SPS corals.CLEAN UP CREW SNAILS: banded trochus snails, tiger nassarius snails CRABS: emerald crabs, hermit crabs SHRIMPS: peppermint shrimp, blood red fire shrimp BEFORE INTRODUCING DECORATIVE FISH,START WITH CORALS!
