Their different categories of saltwater aquariums, depends on its constituents. When you plant animals inside your aquarium and they do not have a backbone, these are known as invertebrates. For this type of marine life, a reef tank is used. Examples of these kinds of invertebrates are sponges, hard or soft corals, and anemones. If you plan on putting animals that are only vertebrates, meaning animals that have a backbone, a choice of either FO (Fish Only) or FOWLR (Fish Only with Live Rock) of aquarium is appropriate. If you do intend to put vertebrates in your reef aquarium, they would only be your secondary focus because your attention and care should on the invertebrates.
The difference between the FO aquarium and FOWLR aquarium is that the later has “Live Rock” content. Live Rocks are also known as rocks that are found in the ocean floor which contain live bacteria and other microorganisms. These organisms help in the biological filtration. Although the organisms are alive, the rock itself is already dead, thus despite the name given to it. This is due to the fact that this is already a dead coral. In addition, a reef aquarium also makes use of live rocks for its water sustenance.
There are various contents of saltwater aquariums. Generally, the following items listed below are the main contents of your aquarium:
• Tropical marine fish (ex. Damselfish, Cat Shark, Clownfish, Angelfish, Tangs, Butterfly Fish Bennies, Puffer Fish, Globies and the like) – You’ll also find Puffer Fish, Porcupine Fish, Lion fish (also known as Turkey Fish), Jaw Fish, and Mandarin Fish available in pet shops.
• soft and/or hard corals
• Invertebrate animals (ex. anemones, starfish, sea urchins, crabs, shrimp, jellyfish and mollusks)
• live rock
