From the rear cover
The science and common sense behind creating an inexpensive, flourishing marine aquarium Marine Aquarium Keeping is the first complete, step-by-step handbook to bring scientific perspective and insight to the practical basics of assembling and successfully maintaining a conventional marine aquarium. While minimizing gadgetry and underscoring a simple, commonsense regimen of looking, seeing, and understanding, author and marine biologist Stephen Spotte offers logical, chapter-by-chapter guidance to every facet of the hobby--from choosing equipment and setting up an aquarium, to selecting healthy animals and maintaining a flourishing underwater environment. Inside, readers will discover:
- How to make a new aquarium suitable for sustaining life
- How to select healthy animals from species demonstrating good captive survival
- The step-by-step basics of routine maintenance
- How to easily meet the nutritional requirements of marine animals
- The key to disease prevention
- The use of seawater and artificial seawaters
- The living subgravel filter
- Aquarium decorations as shelter spaces and as aesthetic features
- The marine aquarium as a living community
