. A balanced marine aquarium / Barbara Jayne Palko. The biology of marine aquarium fishes collected in Marine [ Monroe] County, Florida / Deb Hess and John Stevely. Marine Do not add all of these fish and invertebrates all at once. When your system is set up and ready, you can add your algae, pistol shrimp and spiral anemone, and starfish as well as your cardinal fish or hawkfish. Ten days later add your hermit crab, margin shell, and sea anemone and two basslets. Ten to fourteen days later, add the remaining invertebrates, neon gobies, butterflyfish and hogfish. Add the centropyge species two weeks later as they are the most aggressive of this selection. Remember, before any fish is placed in your main aquarium, they should be quarantined in a medicine tank GENERAL MAINTENANCE, FEEDING, AND MEDICATIONS No one knows precisely the best temperatures for exotic tropical marine fish. Safe ranges are found hit or miss, but there are certain guidelines that work and certain rules that keep problems to a minimum. Both Atlantic and Pacific tropicals will do well in temperatures as low as 70°-75°F (21°-24°C), and in my own tanks I keep Atlantic tropicals at temperatures between 80°-82°F (26°-27°C). The most important factor is maintenance of a stable temperature - no matter what range. Daily varia- tions of more than a few degrees should always be avoided. A 5 degree variation can cause stress and encourage disease. Buy a good heater and a reliable thermometer, and keep variation to a minimum year round. Clean water is essential. Change the volume by 1/4 at least once a month, especially in smaller tanks. The color of the water can be a good indicator of the "health" of the tank. When it begins to yellow and lose its crystal clear look, a water change is overdue. 19.
