Know your pumps

An air pump that moves and stirs the water is considered an essential part of an aquarium, helping to prevent stagnation. Oxygenation is required for healthy fish. Action ornaments may require an air pump, and for an air stone to cascades bubbles, an air pump is needed. A few basic criteria help in pump selection. Whether your plans are to use a filter, to have a wave flow or consistent flow or you prefer an external or submersible, low noise pump, getting your pump selection behind you allows you to move onto the fun stuff. Here are a few reef/tropical items you may want to add.

Snails and shrimp and other coralimorphs

Add some color and contrast to your aquarium with items like turbo snails, cerith, nassaruis snails, peppermint shrimp, blue leg hermit crabs, serpent stars, zooanthids and other coralimorphs. Remember to also add to your list some protective and supplement additives, such as reef salt that adds trace elements, calcium and reef fusion to help absorption and perhaps even a teaspoon of reef bugs (living microbes) to keep reef items healthy.

Adding reef items helps eliminate algae and maintains aquarium environment balance. With the addition of some reef-safe fish, your aquarium is sure to take shape.
