Marine Reef Aquarium

A saltwater reef aquarium can have all the allure of the Great Barrier Reef! Ocean creatures, reef fauna, live coral and live rock with marine fish make an engaging focal point in any room.

Saltwater Aquarium

An enchanting saltwater tank is a wonderful re-creation of the ocean. Most fish residing in saltwater aquariums are actually collected in the wild. Saltwater fish, or “marine” fish, are ocean inhabitants. In addition to marine fish, you can host interesting reef fauna and invertebrates, such as eels, clams, crabs, corals and starfish in a saltwater tank.

Freshwater Aquarium

Freshwater fish come from lakes, river and streams. Because of the variability in these environments, freshwater fish are generally hardier than the saltwater variety. Freshwater fish are more forgiving of mistakes in the management of their tank environment. They can generally handle a little bit of variability in their environment without being extremely prone to stress and mortality. This solidifies the stereotype that freshwater aquariums are easier to maintain, present fewer risks and they also end up being generally less expensive. Deciding on a freshwater tank, as opposed to a saltwater tank, is often an intelligent choice for a beginner aquarist.

Types of Aquariums

There are many options in choosing and designing an aquarium. One of the first decisions you must make it whether you wish to have a freshwater or saltwater aquarium. The difference between these two types of aquariums is primarily in the tanks inhabitants, and secondarily, in the care and maintenance of the tank.
