The Aquarium of Valencia is located in the building L’Oceanogràfic, which is part of the complex of City of Arts and Sciences. It is larger than any other aquarium or marine park you can find in the whole of Europe. Like all the other buildings of the complex, it was designed by the architect Felix Candela. The architect has become world famous and his works are often compared with the breathtaking works of Antoni Gaudi.

The whole building of L’Oceanogràfic, which can rather be seen as an open-air park of the underworld of the sea, consists of ten parts. The impressive aquarium of Valencia is just one of them. The special design of the aquarium makes it look like an igloo from the outside. It is not just a matter of style though – the original shape of the building let the biologists explore the behavior of the species of whales and walruses.

There are more than 7 400 different species in the aquarium. It is a unique opportunity to see the underworld of the Mediterranean Sea by getting really close to the species and watching the dolphins or some of the rare species of the aquarium. It is also notable that the dolphinarium is also larger than any other in Europe. Actually only part of the aquarium is placed above the ground. The area of aquarium also contains a research center. It is trying to find out ways to protect the endangered species of the sea. There is a great emphasis on the reproduction of these specimens.

Once you visit the aquarium, you should also not miss the other parts of the City of Arts and Sciences, which is probably one of the most impressive landmarks of the city. You can also see an enormous botanical garden, a stunning planetarium and bridge, boardwalk with a view to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, an opera house and perhaps the only science museum that can represent science in such an interesting way. Here you can also find a wonderful restaurant which has a unique design like everything else in this fabulous city. This is a perfect place to take your children to and the time you will spend in the city is something you really won’t regret. As the museum has been established just about a little more than one decade ago and it still continues to develop, it is also the best place to get to know the newest technologies and discoveries because everything is surprising and modern in this place.

Having a reef aquarium can be a fun and rewarding hobby. Saltwater tanks can be filled with animals and foliage that are bright, colorful and easy to care for. It is important to start off with the right type of equipment in order to make sure that you do not become frustrated. If you are interested in starting out on the right track with your new reef aquarium, read on for more details below.

Step 1:

Buy the right size aquarium: Most people tend to buy aquariums that are too small. In just a short time, they are often back at the pet store to upgrade to a bigger size. By purchasing at least a 55 gallon aquarium, you will avoid having to come back to the store for a larger size. In addition, you will find that you will have a much easier time of maintaining the various ph and salinity levels with a larger tank.

Step 2:

Buy the right stand for your aquarium: Most people do not think about where they will place their reef aquariums until they are home. It is important to remember that 55 gallon aquariums that are filled are extremely heavy, weighing it at over 550 pounds. For this reason, you will want a sturdy stand that will keep your tank level and even. Make sure that the stand is out of direct sunlight to ensure that the temperature does not fluctuate too greatly.

Step 3:

Buy quality rock and sand: You will need to make sure that you buy reef sand that is specially designed for saltwater tanks. Buying high quality sand and rock will add to the quality of the water inside your tank. Conversely, by purchasing substandard materials, the health of your saltwater tank will suffer dramatically.

Step 4:

Buy enough rock and sand: This is one area of reef aquarium set up that you do not want to skimp on. Having a solid and thick layer of suitable sand and rock will help to make sure that your fish have places to hide and that your coral is able to put down the foundation and stability that they need.

Step 5:

Buy the right lighting equipment: You will need to make sure that you buy the right lighting equipment that will keep your reef aquarium healthy and beautiful. You will also want to make sure that you can afford to light the aquarium with the type of equipment that you are using.

Step 6:

Buy the right salt for your aquarium: You will need to buy the right kind of salt that will allow you to maintain your aquarium and its health. Also check on what levels of salt each animal needs so you can make sure to buy enough salt.

Step 7:

Buy the right equipment for water flow: You will need to have at least 550 gallons of water flow in order to make sure that your tank stays healthy. This can be accomplished by buying the right kinds of power-heads for your reef aquarium.

Step 8:

Buy the right type of heater for your aquarium: The right size and type of heater will depend on how large your aquarium is. You will need to make sure that the heater is large enough so that it can provide the necessary heat for the entire aquarium, not just the top few inches. Otherwise, your coral reefs and fish will not thrive.

I believe that too many people start their aquariums with the aim of its inhabitants surviving. I would like to suggest that this hobby is now way past this simple aim. Due to the lack of information and technology aquariums once had a reputation as being hard to keep.

I have done some study into the mind set of the people that have the aquariums that thrive as a oppose to those that have aquariums that merely survive. I have found that it is more then a choice it to be able to see the aquarium with a new set of understandings.

When I say thriving I mean beautiful clean tanks that are easy to maintain full of fish that are happily growing and breeding and plants or coral that that are growing and propagating.

The first thing I want you to understand is that your aquarium is perfect and it is exactly what it should be. So many people blame their aquarium for its problems e.g. I would love my tank if it didn’t have so much algae or I would love it if the fish didn’t keep dying, like it is the tanks fault. Guess what, its not the tanks fault, its your fault and only your fault.

These people seek advice on how to fix these problem and may take a step in the direction of it being fixed but just don’t get there e.g. they find out that their algae problem is caused by elevated phosphate levels, so they do a water change, cut down food and even add a phosphate sponge and wonder the very next week why the problem is not solved. Many people fall short of creating a solution even though they did take a step in the right direction. I need you to understand that much of what you do today will not show up tomorrow, even next week, more likely next month. Using the algae as an example, lets say that you find out that the algae is caused by phosphate so you do every thing you need to do to get your phosphate down to zero but still the algae lives on. Well guess what, the algae doesn’t what to die, it will cling to life until it is literally starved of the conditions it needs to live e.g. present phosphate. This will not happen over night, but with time it will happen. The good news it that once it is gone it is gone and it will take a while until it returns, once those original conditions are present again and at least this time you will easily have the power to fix it again.

Another area that people complain about is that one person says one thing and some one else says something else, so how will they ever know what is right if experts can’t even agree, so why should I bother. Let me share something with you, so guess what, everything you know about your aquariums and everything that anyone knows about their aquarium has all been made up. Understand that there is no truth so stop looking for it. People will share their experience of what to do and how things happen but that is all it is, their experience and this is true if you are talking to a marine scientist, an expert aquarist or your neighbour. Understand that there are many ways of doing things and none are the right way, they are all made up, either by them or the person that told it to them. Just do what make since to you and you will soon see exactly how your aquarium reacts, which maybe different to how your neighbours aquarium reacts.

An example of getting information on a solution from one person to the next is lets say I have a 10lt bucket of water and I need to get the water from one 10lt bucket to the next, so I ask one person and they say siphon it, someone else say no, no, no, you have to scoop it, until someone else sees you scoop it and says hey just pour it, this all makes sense until you see someone happily splashing it in. The point that I am trying to make is that if you know what you are trying to do e.g. get water from one bucket to the next it doesn’t matter how you do it, if you know what you are trying to do. When learning about your aquarium the aim is really to learn what are you trying to do. Too many people argue and focus on how to do it. Once you know what you are trying to do you will not be confused about how to do it, you will feel freedom in choosing how you decide to do it. Everyone has an opinion on the right and wrong ways of doing things but having an aquarium is about you giving it a try and learning what works for your system.

Learn to accept your tank just the way it is and just the way it isn’t. The aquarium does what the aquarium does and that is exactly what it is supposed to do. When you understand this, it will bring you new power to enjoy your tank e.g. one fish doesn’t get along with another one, so watch and enjoy this natural interaction until you believe the life of the weaker fish is in danger then remove one of the fish to another aquarium, but don’t resent the fish as if that wasn’t supposed to happen because exactly what happened is exactly what is supposed to happen, you are meant to watch and enjoy every interaction in your aquarium not just the nice ones. Do you think that some fish don’t get along in the wild? Of cause they don’t. You will never control your aquarium, but you will have control over it.

]]>

To many times people have come to me and said that over the last year one fish has killed off all the other fish in the tank. Remembering that you do have control over your tank but at this point it would be a good idea to possibly move this fish to another tank once it has killed the second fish and saved all the other fish. Your observations and actions are the key to a thriving tank.
Never forget that you bought your aquarium to watch it, so watch it. Watch what happens enjoy what happens, be alert to what happens and use your control over it. I would like to suggest that most problems that occur in your aquarium could be avoided by learning the rules of how to keep an aquarium and using your control over what you see happening.

You have some control over your aquarium but you will never control it completely, so except this and enjoy it.

It is your job to create the possibility of your aquarium thriving. If your aquarium is not the way you want it, create the possibility that it will be great and give it time to show you results. The way to create a new possibility with your aquarium is to start doing something new, which will allow something new to show up, remembering that when you make a change today you can often expect to see the change show up next month, thriving aquariums are often the result of patience. Most chemical or biological changes to your aquarium take about 3 weeks to really make a difference.

Imagine, visualise and plan your perfect aquarium before you start, if you fail to plan you may plan to fail. So many people walk into an aquarium shop because they would like a new fish, with out any idea of what type of fish they are looking for. They will ask the staff on duty how these fish will go with the few fish they are able to name in their tank. As you can imagine sometimes this works and other times it doesn’t. Creating a plan for your tank including a wish list is a very good idea. This way you are able to show your wish list to many aquarists before you start buying your fish and start learning the hard way which fish don’t often work together. Imagining, visualising and planning your tank is the best way to make sure that your tank turns out with the best result.

Taking responsibility for what it will be will ensure you don’t have to focus on what it is, what it is, is a product of what you did in the past. Learn that there is no one else to blame but you for why your aquarium is not thriving and I don’t mean just surviving. Never blame the people that give you advice, they are only trying to help and next time they may help. An aquarium has many factors that must be taken into consideration when giving even simple advice, only you are able to understand the happenings of your tank, so don’t get angry at the guy at the aquarium store that has tried to help you in a five minute conversation, when what he has said didn’t work out. Learn your aquarium yourself and remember that what ever happens to it in this time was supposed to happen and each incident will carry lessons to help your grow as an experienced fish keeper, remember that good experience is often born out of bad experiences. Never give in and keep seeking the best advice.

Keeping an aquarium is a game, play the game. You need a vision with results to make it worth playing the game. No matter what happens don’t forget that it is just a game and one that if you loose the game you didn’t play it well enough and that you can always play again and win next time. When playing a game you often need a good coach so it can be important to seek out and create a relationship with a good aquarium adviser that can help you win this game of keeping a thriving aquarium. Ask around because you will find this person and your relationship with them will bloom as they get to contribute to and share in the adventures of your thriving aquarium. If you are not aquarium expert it is as important to have an aquarium coach as it is to have a mechanic for your car.

Aim to have a perfect tank, don’t aim to just see how it goes. You need to have a vision that truly inspires you in order to have a tank the really thrives. Don’t aim to have a tank that survives, aim to have a tank that thrives.

The way your tank is today is the way it always will be, unless you change it now because tomorrow never comes. So many times I here people say that they will improve their aquarium when this and when that. When is now, now or never, your fish deserve nothing but the best so why would you give them any less, just because you are too busy or to lazy, when you break down what really need to be done to have a thriving it never takes as long as it seem, anticipation and procrastination is a huge killer of this beautiful hobby.

People pretend to be good and that they look after their tank. Understand that you are never doing the best you can and try to do at least one thing better. This simple understanding can allow constant grow in you and your hobby.

How good your aquarium goes is governed by your vision, equipment and knowledge.

Enrol, people the universe and yourself in how wonderful your aquarium is and what it brings to you. Create the possibility of what you want it to be and don’t focus on the things that you don’t want or you will attract them to you. Sharing the joy your aquarium beings to you is the best way to bring your joy alive and to allow you to really feel and get in touch with what your aquarium really means to you.

To have a perfect tank you will have to be unreasonable, many reason will stop you from having the tank that you desire. A reasonable tank is an average tank, don’t be stopped by reasons. You will always create the most amazing results when you are unreasonable. Enjoy your hobby and learn to monitor your internal chatterbox or the voice of reason in your head. Learn that this voice in your head it not you, it is just a little voice which will hold you back in every thing you do, including keeping the aquarium of your dreams. Listening to this will limit you and stress you out. If the voice tells you that tank is too big or I am to tire to clean the filter now, listen to the voice but choose what you know you should do, don’t listen to that voice because everything it says is reasonable and you want a better tank then a reasonable tank. Get in tune with how the success of your aquarium effects you life, for many how their aquarium is going effects there whole out look on life.

Train yourself to enjoy and do your regular maintenance and don’t anticipate it, because the anticipation is always worse than actually doing it. So many people will literally be scare of their tank because they know that their filter is over due for a clean and they tell themself that they don’t have the time to clean it, in the mean time they have spent more time stressing about cleaning it then they would spend if they actually just cleaned it. Enjoying your maintenance is a major key in having an aquarium that thrives. If you know you don’t want to spent the time then get someone in to service it for you. This may cost you money but will save you money in the long run not having to replace fish and will keep you enjoying your hobby, which is why you got the tank in the first place. Having a poorly maintained tank with fish dying will make you hate this hobby that you wanted to love.

Don’t be scared to fail because sometimes you will. All great hobbyists with the most amazing tanks that you dream to have can tell you some horror stories of thing that happened to them early on while they were developing the skills that they need to allow them the thriving tank that they have now.  For more advice on Marine Aquariums please go to http://www.exclusivefishfilms.com

Article by Bob Finklea

Freshwater aquarium history dates back more than 4,000 years ago when the ancient Sumerians of Southern Iraq, conceived the idea of building the first man-made fish ponds. Other ancient civilizations that brought fish in ponds are the Assyrians and Egyptians. In Europe, the Romans kept sea barbels in marble tanks while Emperor Hongwu of China maintained goldfish in porcelain tubs in 1369. Fish were kept in ponds and tubs for food and entertainment for the higher class in ancient society.

In 1841, Dr. Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward used his Wardian case for tropical animals where he kept toy fish and aquatic plants. The glazed case was originally used in his experiment on ferns. It was also used to transfer ferns and grasses from England to Australia and became the forerunner of the terrarium.

The basic concept and design of the Wardian case became the inspiration for the present day aquarium. Botanists and biologists started the idea of keeping plants and animals in an enclosure for the purpose of observing them indoors whenever they want. Anna Thynne of London created the first balanced marine aquarium when for almost three years; she maintained stony corals and seaweed.

The idea of a balanced aquarium was developed in the 1800s. The guiding principle was that a symbiotic relationship between fish and aquatic plants could be duplicated in a miniature aquatic ecosystem. This was a pivitol point that became so significant that it still is in use today.

English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse was credited as the person to use the word “aquarium” and it was in his time that aquarium became very popular in the United Kingdom. The Great Expedition of 1851 which was an exhibit on what was then, modern technology celebrated the design and displays were shocased with pride and envy. One of the exhibits featured in the event were flamboyant aquariums in cast iron frames. People who attended the exhibit were impressed by what they saw. Two years after the exhibit, the Fish House was opened in London Zoo. It was the first large public aquarium ever built.

Published books and articles about aquaria in the same period had a great significance to freshwater aquarium history. Philip Henry Gosse’s book, “The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea” and provided the reader with details of aquatic life although he particularly discussed saltwater aquaria.

In 1856, the article “The Lake in a Glass” was published in Germany and it talked about freshwater aquaria. within a decade, aquarist’ societies were popping up everywherein the country. The United States published the world’s first aquarium magazine in 1876 and two years after, the first tropical fish from the Far East were introduced by Rear Admiral Daniel Ammon. One of the first published books in the country about aquaria was Henry D. Butler’s, “The Family Aquarium” and its first aquarist society was founded in New York in 1893.

As aquariums became widely accepted as a hobby, improvements in the tank design and introduction of the first freshwater aquarium accessories gave the first aquarists the motivation to continue what they have started. The first mechanical air pump powered by running water was invented in the early 1900s.

Filtering and heating became popular with the advent of common electricity and this allowed for the creation of various kinds of aquarium equipment like heaters and water pumps. Another pivotal improvement that played an important role in freshwater aquarium history was the development of the plastic shipping bag in the 1950′s. Fish were now able to go to multiple locations with the use of the new equipment and that made it easier to ship fish everywhere. Before plastic shipping bags were used, fish transports were done by using jugs made from various materials.

The aquarium tank itself greatly improved from the marble tank of the Roman era to the custom built MacQuarium, an aquarium built from the shell of an Apple Macintosh computer. In the Victorian Era, aquariums were made by a combination of glass front and wood sealed by a type of resin. Robert Warrington created the first aquarium made entirely of glass. At present, glass is still used as tank material but in recent years acrylic was introduced. It is a transparent thermoplastic that is shatter-resistant and lighter than glass. A material that combines the strength of acrylic and clarity of glass is the laminated glass and aquarium that is now becoming popular worldwide.

The evolution of freshwater fish is also a momentous part of freshwater aquarium history. The goldfish have been bred in lots of varieties from the original Carp species. Tropical fish have been also successfully bred with fancy varieties that are more colorful and appealing. The freshwater aquarium hobby has exploded and many new species of fish have been discovered as well as created as a direct result of this hobby. More scientific studies and research provided much needed information about the fish and their habitat which in turn helped them live longer in the tank. Nowadays, in the U.S. and Asia most of the fish used in aquariums are bred and caught in the wild.

At the end of the 20th century, an estimated nine million households in the United States keep an aquarium. These American households own more than 140 million freshwater fish according to the 2005 and 2006 data and 9.6 million saltwater fish. Aquarium keeping as a hobby is already second to stamp collecting and will continue to grow as technology continues to improve.

A few things that I did to help me with my new fresh water aquarium.

Kalkwasser is the German word for “lime water.” Kalkwasser is an industry trade name for Calcium Hydroxide. The terms “Kalkwasser,” “limewater,” and “calcium hydroxide” all mean the same thing in the reef aquarium hobby.

We need to be cautious while working with any calcium compound because they are caustic. Do not let the powder contact your skin, do not inhale it, and always keep it out of children’s reach!

A Kalkwasser solution used to raise calcium in the reef aquarium can be made by using RO/DI or distilled water and adding calcium hydroxide (Ca(HO)2). You can find calcium hydroxide in powder form at most hardware stores or garden nurseries, just  be sure the compound you find does not contain any Phosphates!

Preparing and mixing the kalkwasser solution isn’t all that difficult, once mixed you need to cap it so no carbon dioxide can enter the container.  If carbon dioxide is allowed to enter the mix, it causes calcium carbonate to form on the bottom as an un-dissolved white slurry or sludge. Do not use this sludge and never allow it to enter your aquarium. It is recommended you remove the settled calcium carbonate from the container before each new use. Each time you open the container the kalkwasser mix gets exposed to more carbon dioxide, and more calcium is lost adding more calcium carbonate slurry to settle on the bottom.

Mixing kalkwasser to raise calcium for reef aquariums can be accomplished by using this guideline: one teaspoon up to one tablespoon of kalkwasser per one gallon of RO/DI or distilled water. Mix it so that all the powder is in suspension then cap the container. It’s a good idea to drip the kalkwasser mix slowly to the reef aquarium at night so the pH doesn’t rise to high. Kalkwasser itself has a high pH of 12 and higher, so be careful when dosing this mix and always test your water parameters before and after dripping any additives. Drip the kalkwasser within a day of mixing, it will slowly lose it’s effectiveness as the days go on. I mix up a 5 gallon jug worth and drip my kalkwasser over a 2 day period then I rinse out the jug and mix up a new batch.

Setting the proper drip rate depends on your reef aquarium setup and the total water volume your aquarium has. For my small aquariums 30-50 gallons, about one drip per second is sufficient and should not cause any sudden fluctuations in your reefs pH. For larger tanks kalkwasser can be dripped at a faster rate as long as you monitor the pH.

There are some articles on the web that describe how you can make your own kalkwasser drip container out of water bottles, milk jugs, glass jugs, etc… All you need are a few inexpensive items like the following:

·         Air line tubing

·         Water bottle or jug with an air tight lid

·         Rigid air line tubing

·         Airline valve kit for adjusting your drip rate

Some benefits of dripping Kalkwasser to raise calcium in the reef aquarium:

Benefits are:

It adds/replenishes calcium that is needed by most of the creatures in the reef aquarium.
It encourages the growth of pink and purple coralline algae.
It helps to keep the pH constant.

Awesome inventions and ideas I’ve thought of to enhance my fish tank inexpensively.. Send me your ideas… By the way, the sand is better (in my opinion and experience) than gravel because the waste and food remain on the top of the sand, rather than mixing with it like it does with gravel. I DON’T recommend you using silica sand! I tried it for two months and it made some of my fish sick and killed others. And as soon as I put the regular sand in the tank the fish began to get better. They had fin rot with the silica sand and some acted ill..

Having an aquarium is not purely fun. As responsible owner there are some aquarium setup safety measures that you need to consider. Here are some facts that you must know before you setup your aquarium.

Make sure that your aquarium stand can support your glass aquarium for possible movements. Never encourage children to climb or hang on your fresh water aquarium setup. Durability of the stand, frame and the aquarium itself is big factor to consider.
It is better to fill your aquarium with water for a couple of days to observe leaks and cracks.
Be careful with breakable aquarium equipments. Small parts may may separate which may choke your fishes so as little children around.
Make sure to have assistance when moving or cleaning you aquarium. Since most aquarium are made of glass, its always slippery when it is wet. Make sure that you aquarium sides are wiped dry before lifting or moving your aquarium.
Since most aquarium equipments are electrically operated, there is danger of electrical shock. Before plugging- in and turning on equipments you must check first for open wires and broken light fixtures. If possible use only equipments that are already been tested. Avoid creating your own electrical circuits or connections without advice from experts. Make sure that all equipment are in good condition before you use them. Electrical outlets must be above your tank level to avoids flow back of water in case of power interruptions.
Keep your aquarium chemicals such as water cleaning solutions and water stabilizers in a safe place and away from children. Even fish foods may look inviting to them so keep them away.
Do not soak or dip your hands if you got broken skin into your aquarium. Bacteria, fungi, and other chemical may enter your skin which may cause some problems in the future. Use rubber cloves if possible.
Proper disposal of aquarium waste must be observed. Improper disposal of chemicals and water plant may pollute or contaminate water ways.

I really hope that this few aquarium setup safety tips will help you avoid both minor and major troubles in line with you hobby. Stay tune for more aquarium setup safety tips next time.

Once you are done with this list, you are ready to go set up your guppy tank. Fancy guppies requires less space than other fish i.e. almost 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. (there are various methods to calculate no of fish per tank) Means you can have more guppies in less space. But my suggestion is to give more space to your fancy guppy keeps it happy and hence colorful. Guppies like a little barkish water so add some salt to your tank. You do not need salinity as much as scat or mono fish, but a little salt will keep your fancy guppies happy.

Beginner’s setup

Rinse substate well then add it tank. (if you have puchaseed ready to add then no problem) Befoe you pour water in tank keep all decor you have. Then add water by tube or watering pipe. Add water conditioners. This will soften water and remove clorine from water. Let water set there for a day or two. Insert airiating tube and heater to tank. Install filter and heater. Now you are ready to put your beloved Fancy Guppy in to your aquarium.

Compatibility

Fancy Guppies are suitable in many community aquariums. Keep them away from fin nippers barbs and gourami. They are friendy with most of tetras, (some tetra will trouble them), other live bearers,  catfish, rainbow fish. Even you can add Barbs to this tank provided you add more than 6 barbs.  them barbs are busy in chassing each other and don’t nip fins. Mostly all guppies are peaceful but they might turn territorial. to keep good peace in tank you should keep 2 females guppies per 1 male guppy.

Environment

Fancy guppies are peace loving schooling fish. Suggested number is 5 or more. Guppy like little barkish water, hence maintain proper salinity level in your tank. They like hard water and salinity upto 150% of normal sea water. They can not sustain sudden change in temperatures. But can live in wide range of temrature 23 °C to 30 °C or 73 °F to 86 °F and prefer 27 °C or 82 °F. They can inhabitant in all levels of aquarium. Plants and caves for hideout is great advantage. Newly born guppy fry get advantage of plantations and caves in aquarium.

Feeding

Guppies can eat variety of food. They like both live and frozen food. They can eat tubifix bloodworm, baby brine shrimps (live or frozen), tropical flakes, floating food or sinking food.As far as feeding is concern do not worry as they can eat lot of variety food. Feed your fancy guppies 2 / 3 times a day varying each time. e.g. give live food in morning and flake in noon and bits in night.

Maintenance

Check temperature, filter, other equipments daily. Change about 15% water every week or 2 weeks. Check water condition at least once in a week. Add or remove new fishes to guppy tank gradually.

Diseases

Guppies mainly suffer from following diseases. but there are many other diseases and will be discussed later in detail.
