Sal****er Aquariums Home Service in Orlando

The 11 water analysis tests are; pH, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, NH4/NH3,
NO2, NO3, PO4, KH, ORP, Ca, SG/Temperature...
All this parameters alone say little about a tank. I put them in an Excel
chart and after normalizing them I got pretty interesting graphs

The 10 points aquarium checks are found in
http://www.guayni.com/Maintenance.htm

A complete service with an hour of tutoring costs $65

As for my publications, I am working on some details before I web-publish
them, they will be available for download. Basically, some of them are not
only mine, there are others and using them for business takes a little
negotiation with my colleagues. There is another little problem; some of
the findings used for my WRU are confidential until I patent the filter.
Nevertheless, I will provide a copy in pdf of the more interesting ones.
Most of them are of wildlife nature in the Florida Keys and the Central
Florida Wetlands.
My publications should not be an obstacle to those who want to see another
angle of the water they have in their aquarium...

I do appreciate your concerns and hope you visit my website again, some of
the graphs I am getting will be published and establish a relationship
between parameters worst noticing.

Thanks again, Jaime

11 water tests in one visit

What do you test ?

10 points check of your aquarium

What do you check ?

Full scale tutoring to new and seasoned aquarists!

How much per visit ?

p.s. Jaime, on your website you claim you specialize
in wildlife field research and your research resulted
in "numerous publications". Could you provide a list of
your publications here ? I am interested in reading them.

Thanks.

Looks like you have put quite a lot of effort into this.
I wish ya the best of luck mate!!
The leaning towards teaching people...... tis always the best of signs.
Sounds like a pretty wacky filter, will be good to see it in a marketable
form!
Bit of everything thrown in, a frankenfilter.

Thanks for the time "mate", the frankenfilter as you call it (sounds good)
is a 20gal tank with Acrylic subdivisions.
It works fine with a 100gal system but I dare say that it will work on
something bigger.

Looking at you chemical measurements it DOES NOT WORK
that good even on your 100gal system.

noticed ya still had a bit of an ammonia and nitrite reading.
Your not cleaning this filter out in chlorinated water are you?
Looks like the bacteria are having a hard time building up
But then thats cycling for ya
I love buildin sumps too hey
altho most are just in square plastic tub things
I need a bigger shed...... I want to put a huge fluidised sand bed filter
on the new system.
Can get almost all the bits for free, and if theres one thing even I can
build it's fbf's!!
Not going to be the main one but it's going to look like it is

Cycling ? For more than a year cycling ?
It supposed to finish in a month... not a year.

There is no room in a reef tank for a fluidized sand bed filter.
This kind of filter is good for a swimming pool, but not in
a reef tank, where it quickly become a nitrates factory.

The issue here seams to be the lack or erroneous knowledge about the
Nitrogen Cycle.
Ammonia is the most dangerous form of nitrogen in your tank. It gets
oxidized to NO2-(nitrites) by bacteria. The sole presence of nitrites is a
direct indicator that your bacteria is oxidizing Ammonia since it has no
other substantial way of entering your aquarium.
Nitrites get oxidized even further and converted to NO3-(Nitrates)
If your system is low on Ammonia and Nitrites then your bacteria is
oxidizing it to Nitrates.
A nitrates level of higher than 1000ppm is needed to cause death to your
fish. Nevertheless a high concentration (100ppm) will have a direct effect
on your fish's metabolism.
In other words, the job of your bacteria ends there, for Nitrates to be
reduced again to nitrites requires low levels of Oxygen.
Many aquarists remove Nitrates by means of water changes. I chose to remove
it by harvesting algae and by creating a nutrients sink where Nitrates are
confined to a specific place where they feed my algae to be harvested. Is a
principle learned in a Wetlands Ecology class. Is the same principle
mangroves in nature and drainfields in households use.
