Plant Maintenance Tips
Provide consistent lighting period about 10 to 12 hours per day.
Include algae-controlling fish that do not damage plants (ex.-Siamese Flying Fox, Otocinclus, Pencil Fish and Livebearers).
Test iron levels weekly and maintain a 0.25 to 0.5mg/L iron level.
Many aquatic plants respond favorably to pH levels from 6.4 to 6.8 and KH levels of 50 to 90 mg/L.
Aquatic plants will shed leaves as they grow. Regularly remove any dying or dead leaves. The use of aquascaping tools is highly recommended for this purpose. When cutting dead leaves and pruning aquatic plants, use an aquatic plant scissors. For easy grasping and manipulating delicate plants without disturbing the surroundings, use a planting tongs.
Whether you're establishing your first aquarium, or expanding your hobby experience with a new niche system, small aquariums in the 12-gallon range make a rewarding and relaxing project at home or in the office.
All home reef aquariums are miniature reefs when compared to expansive natural reefs. However, the term "nano reef" generally refers to a miniature reef system that is typically 30 gallons or less. Is a nano reef right for you?
Smaller aquariums in the range of 10-20 gallons are the ideal size for the serious beginner. When stocking your small aquarium, think scale: a community of tiny, active, and colorful tropical fish can make even the smallest setup appear grand.
Successful aquariums depend greatly on research and preparation. Before you install your new aquarium, consider aquarium placement and size to avoid laborious and costly mistakes.
