Mediterranean aquarium
Cold sea water aquarium that replicates the Mediterranean ecosystem. A fascinating alternative to the tropical reef with local fauna.
Detailed explanation
The Mediterranean aquarium hosts species of local Italian marine fauna: blennies (Blenniidae), gobies (Gobiidae), damsels, damselfishes, local anemones, shrimps, crabs.
The temperature must be maintained between 16 and 22 degrees (with seasonal variations). In summer a cooler is essential.
The collection of organisms in nature is regulated. Many species are protected. Inquire about local laws before collecting any organisms.
The setup uses local rocks, sand, and Mediterranean algae (Caulerpa prolifera is common). The filtration is similar to tropical marine but without a powerful skimmer (the organic load is lower).
It is a fascinating educational aquarium that allows you to observe local marine fauna from the comfort of home.
