You have done a nice job with your marine tank. Do you have to feed the coral?

Sorry for not answering your questions but I've not been able to access the forum until now.
Jackpike: The corals that I'm currently keeping do not require direct feedings. If faster growth was my goal I would feed them but at the moment the growth rate is fine.
Fishgirl: Yes in my opinion marine aquariums are much more difficult to maintain than freshwater. Keeping stable water parameters, Nitrate, Ammonia, pH, Salinity, etc. is the most difficult part. Also the startup as well as the up keep costs of a marine aquarium is usually higher than the average freshwater aquarium. When attempting a marine aquarium make sure you have enough experience with freshwater, do plenty of research, and start with the largest tank you can afford.
Yes I've kept tropical tanks. Well if you have any more questions regarding my tank or marine aquariums in general just ask.

perfectblue, i imagine u use an ro unit to get ro water because u have corals in your marine tank. I have very soft water here, Do u think i could use just tap water for a fish-only-marine setup. or would i need to purchase an ro unit.

I have very soft water here, Do u think i could use just tap water for a fish-only-marine setup. or would i need to purchase an ro unit. Hello. I know the owners of a local fish store so I just purchase my RO water from them. When it comes to RO water you can either buy a unit or possibly purchase the water from a local fish store, grocery store, etc. The problem with tap water is that it can contain high concentrations of phosphates, silicates, and nitrates. This can lead to nuisance algae blooms. Now in a Fish Only or Fish Only With Live Rock tank this isn't much of a problem. Just remember to use a dechlorinator if you do decide to go with tap water. If you have any more questions regarding marine aquariums I'll be happy to answer them.
