Marine Tank Creatures: Care

Caring for Your Marine Tank

Tank Setup

Feeding

Maintenance

Place filters in proper places. Creatures are fed 3 times a week. Watch that jets do not get clogged.
Rinse crushed coral. Feed crushed clams in an "S" pattern. If tank gets cloudy, you are overfeeding.
Mix water and salt. Test salinity. Some creatures will eat plants, can you see which they are? Salt needs to be scraped off the inside of tank when the water evaporates and the level goes down.
Make sure jets are functioning. Check water level and top off as needed.
Place airstone. Use net to remove floating debris.
Provide hiding places.
