There are some accessories and materials very important in protecting saltwater aquarium. One is the special additives like kalkwasser(calcium), strontium and iodine. These enhance the beauty of the rocks and encourage growth of pink coralline algae. Kalkwasser is calcium hydroxide solution which captures carbon dioxide to create bicarbonate ions. Strontium solutions are used to open corals. Iodine is used by microalgae, bacteria, fish, coralline algae and other invertebrates.

Live invertebrates are accessory creatures that feed on a variety of algae. They are safe for reefs. Examples of invertebrates are crabs, sponges, shrimps and marine snails.

Live sand helps beneficial bacteria to convert nitrate to nitrogen. The recommended thickness is 3″ to 6″ as ideal bed for rock. They are used as substrates.

Fluorescent lamps are special lightings best used when isolated from the tank to protect metal parts. They are very important particularly for corals.

Heater and thermometer are important because water temperature should be kept at 74-78 degrees Fahrenheit. Heaters are used to keep the temperature warm especially during winter time. An additional unit of heater is a good choice for backup use.

Synthetic salt mixes are specially formulated aqua salts used to condition seawater and maintain levels of salinity.

Power heads are submersible water pumps. They move water around for oxygen. An aquarium must have 2 to 3 multiple power heads.
