2. Aquarium filter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_filter

   Aquarium filters are critical components of both freshwater and marine aquaria. [1] [2] [3] Aquarium filters remove physical and soluble chemical waste products from aquaria, simplifying maintenance. Furthermore, aquarium filters are necessary to support life as aquaria are relatively small, closed volumes of water compared to the natural ...

3. Algae scrubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae_scrubber

   Periodic removal of the algae that has grown inside of an algae scrubber removes nutrients (ammonia, nitrate, phosphate) from the aquarium water, thus providing the needed filtration. An algae scrubber is a water filtering device which uses light to grow algae ; in this process, undesirable chemicals are removed from the water. [ 1 ]

   Lastly, live rock will also help balance and stabilize pH in the aquarium. Calcium, alkalinity and other trace elements which are consumed by corals are replaced through water changes (using natural seawater or a quality synthetic salt mix) or the use of a calcium reactor , kalkwasser (calcium water – calcium hydroxide mixed with pure water ...

5. Nitrovasodilator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrovasodilator

   Nitrates mainly differ in speed and duration of their action. Glyceryl trinitrate acts fast and short (10 to 30 minutes), while most other nitrates have a slower onset of action, but are effective for up to six hours. Molsidomine, as has been mentioned, not only acts slowly but also differs from the nitrates in exhibiting no tolerance. [2]

6. Freshwater aquarium algae - Wikipedia

   BBA may occur in both saltwater and freshwater aquaria. [16] Red spot algae may form a tenacious reddish-brown splotch or film on aquarium glass or plant leaves. It grows quickly and may be a symptom of high nitrates or iron. [17] These encrusting red algae may be referred to as a member of the genus Hildenbrandia. It is not especially common. [18]

7. Protein skimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_skimmer

   Protein skimming removes certain organic compounds, including proteins and amino acids found in food particles and fish waste, by using the polarity of the protein itself. . Due to their intrinsic charge, water-borne proteins are either repelled or attracted by the air–water interface and these molecules can be described as hydrophobic (such as fats or oils) or hydrophilic (such as salt ...
