Depending on your taste, you can design your saltwater aquarium with natural reef structures or extraordinary rock formations. In addition to the aesthetic impression, reef structures and a substrate have a positive effect on the water quality, because additional surfaces offer plenty of space for beneficial bacteria and sponges. The situation is similar with algae and mangroves, which take nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate directly from the aquarium water for their growth and thus maintain the water quality.
Buying decoration for your reef tank - our tip:
When planning the decoration of your reef aquarium, consider the future stocking: create enough space for coral frags, build in hiding and sleeping places for fish and pay attention to an appropriate flow pattern.
