Fresh Water vs Marine The varied aspects of fresh water aquarium water can be confusing for the new fish tank
owner. Understanding and controlling water quality within your aquarium is vital. As the primary substance in your fish's environment it has a huge impact on all aspects of the fish that live in it. Mastering the principles and applying them to your aquarium will give your fish the best chance of living a happy and healthy life.
Each aquarium fish has it's own preferred water conditions. By looking at the fish's native environment you can gain some insight into the correct aquatic habitat. There will always be some variation and fluctuation where fish live so the goal should be to keep the water conditions within a given range.
Poor water quality is believed to be the largest killer of fresh water aquarium fish. This is all too often the case when newly purchased aquariums are not allowed adequate time to develop a bank of beneficial bacteria. The resulting poor water quality kills the inhabitants due to poisoning by ammonia. Understanding the nitrogen cycle and how to cycle an aquarium correctly is a must for avoiding such untimely deaths.
There is always much to learn about aquaria but water is a topic best mastered
early. We hope e-Aquarium's series of aquarium articles gives you a better understanding of your fish tank.
