A novice raising a black sawtail crane needs a very complete filtration system. The physical filtration of the new tank requires ammonia absorption stone, various porcelain rings and other filter materials. Biofiltration requires nitrifying bacteria and algae.

Change the water regularly, it is recommended to replace 20% every 2 months seawater, and regularly add trace elements. The protein skimmer was used 2 months after raising black sawtails, and the concentration of nitrite and the stability of pH were checked regularly.
