Saltwater or freshwater? The question remains current. However, if you plan on spending a small amount of money and basic weekly maintenance scare you a lot, but you still want a good tank in your living room, it\u2019s highly recommended to go for a freshwater aquarium.<\/strong> However, if you have some experience in maintaining freshwater, and have the right amount of dedication, and you have the budget, then you can easily start a saltwater aquarium. Let’s break down a little bit deeper Cons and Pros or both options.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aquarium is considered a hobby but is almost an art or a science. Indeed, the amount of knowledge to acquire to reproduce in an aquarium an aquatic ecosystem where plants and animals cohabit in a way that is both viable and decorative is much more important than it seems.<\/p>\n

Although some species of fish can live fresh or saltwater, the vast majority need a specific environment. The composition of water determines where saltwater and freshwater fish could live.<\/p>\n

Understand that th\u0435 difference between saltwater fish \u0430nd fr\u0435\u0455hw\u0430t\u0435r fish \u0456\u0455 \u0456m\u0440\u043ert\u0430nt if you plan t\u043e k\u0435\u0435\u0440 th\u0435 f\u0456\u0455h \u0430t home, that everyone requires the correct environment and good care to survive.<\/p>\n

For starters, it is important to note that a number of fish species (as well as many invertebrates), usually free of scales, maybe salt intolerant. But it is also now well established that for other species, the use of salt (appropriate dose, again) may have advantages in several specific cases.<\/p>\n

The freshwater aquarium, to start gently.<\/h2>\n

The freshwater aquarium is mainly concerned with the breeding of tropical fish. Considered easier, it is recommended for beginners because fish and the necessary equipment are less expensive. It requires, however, respecting several specific steps. First, the choice of aquarium equipped imperatively with a system for heating water, lighting, and a filtration system. Before being able to admire its fish, the aquarist must constitute an ecosystem who can welcome them.<\/p>\n

For this, he will carefully choose the soil and the decor of his aquarium before impoundment, and wait several weeks before introducing the first fish. Several weeks are necessary for the water to reach a composition suitable for the installation of fish (disappearance of nitrites).<\/p>\n

Every aquarist should test its water, including its pH and nitrite content, and introduce its species by species, taking care to choose fish that can cohabit without damage. You must ensure that the aquarium remains at a constant temperature, tropical fish being very sensitive to thermal shocks. The choice of freshwater fish is vast, since the Guppy brightly colored, renowned for its resistance, or schools of blue-red neon lights, as well as many species of catfish cleaners that make unsightly algae disappear.<\/p>\n

      The saltwater aquarium<\/h2>\n

      In principle, a saltwater aquarium is more expensive than a freshwater aquarium. This is due to the important material used to recreate the same conditions as in the sea, with minimum fluctuations in the density of water, pH, nitrates, calcium, and magnesium.<\/p>\n

      It is much more difficult to maintain a balance in a seawater aquarium than in a freshwater aquarium. Brutal changes or pollution can become dramatic mainly for fish and other species. That is why in densely populated aquariums we use sophisticated equipment such as a new drip water dispenser, a skimmer, a UV sterilizer, a large filtration and water pumps that have to create Water swirls in the aquarium to avoid stagnant water and increase exchanges between water and plants or corals.<\/p>\n

      Saltwater is 25 times denser than freshwater! As a result, it is much more difficult to oxygenate. A seawater tank is filled with osmosis water: an osmosis unit becomes indispensable to adjust the density of the water automatically.<\/p>\n

      Some substances from the water cycle in an aquarium (e.g. ammonium) are tolerated by freshwater fish but harmful to seawater fish. Therefore, extra vigilance is needed. In addition, the filtration needs are greater in seawater. Finally, a useless accessory in freshwater becomes necessary in saltwater: the skimmer, which serves to remove the proteins from the water before they degrade.<\/p>\n
