In this bespoke fish tank setup no aquatic plants are used, the layout only features wood, rock and fish. This type of aquarium is recommended if you like a natural looking fish tank. In the freshwater Wood & Rock system, the colours of the fish contrast against the plain tones of the hardscape, which in turn creates an extremely beautiful aesthetic experience. Usually fish used in this setup would originate from South American river basins or African rift lakes.

One of the most challenging aspects of saltwater aquariums is keeping live corals. In Fish Only Systems live coral is not present, this results in a less demanding aquarium in terms of monitoring water parameters. One of the main benefits of selecting this type of bespoke fish tank is we can select certain species that would usually eat live coral such as Puffers, Trigger fish and larger predatory fish.

Keeping fish with live coral requires in depth knowledge by the team at Liquid Habitat, as livestock and coral are dependent on very specific water and lighting requirements. A reef aquarium requires appropriately intense lighting, turbulent water movement, and more stable water chemistry than fish-only marine aquariums and careful consideration is given to which reef animals are appropriate and compatible with each other. Liquid Habitat has studied coral reefs in great depth and our specialists are able to replicate a natural environment for the fish and corals. When creating your bespoke fish tank our team know how to replicate; natural sun and moon patterns by ensuring the correct lighting intensity and spectrum, variable flow rates, artificial waves and stable water chemistry, which mimics the natural reefs around the world. Creating a perfect harmony of fish and corals is an art form. Your eyes will always find something new to view in this type of saltwater aquarium!

  • Back to Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 Annual)
    Back To Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 annual) The reef hobby, that part of the aquarium hobby that has arguably experienced the most change, is ironically also an example of the axiom that the more things change the more they remain the same. During the past 10 years we have seen almost constant change in reefkeeping practices, and, in many instances, complete reversal of opinions as to which techniques or practices are the best. We have gone from not feeding our corals directly to feeding them, from using some type of substrate to none at all and then back again, and, finally, we have run the full gamut from using a lot of technology to little or none. It is this last change, commonly referred to as the "back to nature" or natural approach, that many hobbyists are now choosing to follow. Advocates of natural methodologies have been around since the 1960s, when the first "reefkeeper," Lee Chin Eng, initiated many of the concepts and techniques that are fundamental to successful reefkeeping. Mr. Eng lived near the ocean in Indonesia and used many of the materials that were readily available to him from this source. "Living stones," which have come to be known as live rock, were used in his systems as the main source of biological filtration. He also used natural seawater and changed it on a regular basis. His tanks were situated so they would receive several hours of direct sunlight each day, which kept them well illuminated. The only technology he used was a small air pump, which bubbled slowly into the tank.

  • Aquacultue OPEN COURSE: NOTES PART 1
    OPEN COURSE AQ5 D01 ORNAMENTAL FISH CULTURE GENERAL INTRODUCTION An aquarium is a marvelous piece of nature in an enclosed space, gathering the attraction of every human being. It is an amazing window to the fascinating underwater world. The term ‘aquarium’is a derivative of two words in Latin, i.e aqua denoting ‘water’ and arium or orium indicating ‘compartment’. Philip Henry Gosse, an English naturalist, was the first person to actually use the word "aquarium", in 1854 in his book The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. In this book, Gosse primarily discussed saltwater aquaria. Aquarium or ornamental fish keeping has grown from the status of a mere hobby to a global industry capable of generating international exchequer at considerable levels. History shows that Romans have kept aquaria (plural for ‘aquarium’) since 2500 B.C and Chinese in 1278-960 B.C. But they used aquaria primarily for rearing and fattening of food fishes. Chinese developed the art of selective breeding in carp and goldfish, probably the best known animal for an aquarium. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first to keep the fish for ornamental purpose. World’s first public aquarium was established in Regents Park in London in 1853. Earlier only coldwater fishes were kept as pets as there was no practical system of heating which is required for tropical freshwater fish. The invention of electricity opened a vast scope of development in aquarium keeping. The ease of quick transportation and facilities for carting in temperature controlled packaging has broadened the horizon for this hobby.
