Aquarium

The first step in building a successful reef aquarium is the tank itself. Most hobbyists prefer what are called Reef Ready Aquariums which are identical to regular glass or acrylic style tanks save for an internal overflow made of plastic or glass which encloses holes that have been drilled into the bottom glass to accommodate a drain or Standpipe and a return line. Water pours over the overflow into and down the standpipe, through PVC piping, into a sump, which houses various filtration and heating equipment, through a return water pump and finally back via more piping through the second hole into the aquarium. An alternative method to having a tank that is already drilled is to use a hang on tank overflow with a U-tube (via an continuous siphon).

Here are some types of reef tanks listed below:
