First, you might not even be aware that you have options besides just fish. Some tropical fish tanks have several different kinds of fish with rocks and other synthetic decorations. Some have beautiful living reefs, with only a few fish. Reef aquariums can be just as fun as fish aquariums. You are still creating your own living ecosystem, with awesome varieties of color, textures, and potential for growth and change.

The reason you have to determine what kind of inhabitants you want ahead of time is because the systems have different needs. Temperature, filtration systems, and other preparations will usually be different. You should be aware that not all fish can live with beautiful coral reefs. If you’re not sure which you would like, it might be a good idea to set up your tank with an environment that would be acceptable for either.

It’s a really good idea to go to a pet store with a notebook. Write down every species that you find fascinating. Through the store, books, or the Internet, research each species. You can determine what kind of environment it needs and what other species are compatible.

Your next decision is how big your tank should be. The usual rule of thumb is about one gallon for every inch of full grown fish, and about two gallons for every inch of reef. Some people think five gallons per inch of fish is better. When in doubt, go with a bigger tank. Your fish will be happier. You should only add one to three fish at a time, even when you add your first fish. Resist the urge to create a fully populated tank.

Now you have to figure out where to keep the aquarium. Once set up, it will be very heavy and difficult to move. It should be safe from direct sunlight and drafts, and near an electrical outlet. The aquarium should sit on an appropriate stand that can safely support the weight. It’s convenient to get a stand that also serves as a storage unit, where you can keep your maintenance tools handy.

You can buy a full aquarium kit or separate tank, gravel (or live sand), filtration system, heater, lighting, and thermometer. It’s a good idea to pick up a step by step set up guide or book, available at fish and pet stores.

The most important thing to remember is that starting your own saltwater tank requires a lot of patience. You can’t just go buy fish and set up the tank when you get home. You have to plan your system, let the water cycle and become ready for your fish, test the water, then slowly add fish with lots of testing to make sure everything is still going smoothly. It’s an investment of time, but well worth it when you get to experience the ecosystem you’ve created.. If you would like to find out more about saltwater fish then please feel free to visit my web site that has some other useful information.

Ashley Barnard is a keen saltwater fish enthusiest, over the years he has developed a great passion for these fish and by doing so has learnt a great deal ablout them.

One of the first behaviors we teach our pups is "Table" or "Box". This behavior transfers to the agility pause table. But more than that, the table is the center and control point of our puppy training. We introduce pups and older dogs to the table set at a 12 inch height. If you have a very small pup you could use an 8 inch table, but even with bigger dogs we use the 12 inch table and not higher. To begin, lure pup up on a low pause table, treat him for getting on the table. Once the pup is comfortable getting up on the table, then lure the pup up to a sit. You can also lure to a down.

Next you want to work on distance to the table. If you have a person to help you you can use a white target plate on the table, take the pup and step back from the table about 3 feet. Have your helper make a noise to get the pup's attention, and place a treat on the table. Release your pup to, "Go table." The pup gets his reward only when getting up on the table. If you don't have a helper, than place your treat in a covered container that will be recognized as a treat box for your pup. Leave the treat container on the table, step away from the table about 3 feet, face the table and say, "Go Table".

If your pup is very young, you can hold him as you lift him off the table and move away from the table. If your pup is too big for you to hold then use a flatbuckle collar and light dragline for your pup.

Now introduce your jumps to your pup. But you are not going to use the jump bars yet. First you want your pup to go through or between the jump uprights. Set a jump about 4 feet away from your table. Take your pup to the other side of the jump. So you are lined up pup, jump, then table. You want to get your pups attention to the treat on the table, either with a helper or a treat container, release your pup to the table, "Go Table". Let the pup run ahead of you, but go meet him at the table so that he can get his treat, praise him then offer him another treat for sitting on the table.

Progress with adding one extra jump at a time. Spacing the jumps about 3 feet apart. You are developing a jump chute that will lead the pup to the table. Remember your goal is to build the command, "Go" and "Table". You are also teaching the pup to move out ahead of you, working away from you and getting comfortable working around tables and jumps. Your pup is getting familiar running through the jump uprights, but you are not focusing on having your pup jump.

With all your puppy training, have fun with your pup. Use all your puppies motivators, praise, toys, and food. It is up to you to be more interesting to your pup than all the other distractions out in the yard.
