"Saltwater Aquarium Care; Basic to Advanced" We have done a major overhaul of this article (as we are doing site wide). Major changes to the layout and how resources are presented were performed. More information was added, while outdated was removed. Also a new picture was added too: www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Basic_Saltwater.htmlCarl |

We have updated the "Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Care" article with more information This includes a picture of a water return manifold:  For larger aquariums and especially sumps, the Rio 1700 Pump, Rio 26HF or especially larger pumps are also useful especially for sumps, or unique applications such as the one pictured here at this site: “Water Return Manifold” (sometimes referred to as closed loop system, although this is not my definition, a better definition is just that; a water return manifold). This manifold allows for higher flows without areas of extreme turbulence. Reference: www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Basic_Saltwater.htmlCarl |

I have updated the Marine Aquarium Care (Basic to Reef) article. A new section about aquarium cooling/heating was added. Here is a snip from this new section: "I have found in the 1000s of aquariums I have maintained that with a few exceptions, a chiller was a costly device that broke down often and the cost of purchase and running exceeded running a room air conditioner at a high setting. Using lower wattage devices and dumping Metal Halide Lights in favor of LEDs, especially the more efficient AquaRays that do not require cooling fans because they PRODUCE MUCH LESS WASTED HEAT ENERGY than many other LEDs such as EcoTechs or Kessils can make a big difference too."Reference: www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Basic_Saltwater.html#coolingCarl |
