Here are some tips for good water quality from my new #saltwateraquarium Creating The Perfect Environment eBook: saltwateraquariumadvice/Creating-the-Perfect-Tank-Environment/ 1. You need a really good purified water source (not tap water); reverse osmosis, deionisation or combined RO/DI unit. 2. Use a high quality salt mix ,this should closely replicate the chemical composition of natural seawater (NSW) and will add in all the vital minerals and trace elements your marine life need for health. Be careful that your salt mix doesn’t contain unwanted additives like phosphates etc. 3. High levels of oxygenation, this can come from a good protein skimmer, but also airstones, water pumps and powerheads; anything that moves water around rapidly or puts bubbles into it. We want a high water turnover at the surface of the tank where oxygen can be absorbed from the air. 4. Strong, multidirectional water movement is especially important for corals and other sessile invertebrates; to bring them their plankton food and nutrients, clean them of detritus and oxygenate them. You can never really have too much water movement in a marine aquarium. #SaltwaterAquariumAdvice
