How to keep Saltwater Fish and Invertebrate Systems Healthy and some useful Tips!

Marine Fish and Invertebrate ARE more sensitive to water conditions than their freshwater cousins.

Here, in simple terms we will explain why...

In a freshwater habitat things change. If your river or pool dries up, chemicals become more concentrated. When it rains or floods again, they dilute. If you are in a pond and a dead animal falls in, the water becomes at least slightly polluted and you can't escape.

You adapt or die.

In the sea (there really is only one) rain has no effect at all on the chemical composition. If a dead cow drops in, although it may cause a localized problem for a short time, either you can swim away or tides and currents will carry out massive water changes in short order.

Life is stable.

It is maintaining this stability that is critical in keeping marine tanks.
