It’s been a while since I last wrote an article about fish and that’s primarily because I couldn’t think of anything interesting to write about (at least nothing that interested me).…

I have a fetish for all things electronic and technical, and
aquarium-related gadgets are no exception. I first wrote

“Methods for Replacing Evaporated Water and Dosing
Limewater” (Aquarium Frontiers, Vol.3 No.…

I was watching the television program “MotorWeek”

I’ve always had success in keeping fish in my 500 gallon reef aquarium, even delicate fish. I couldn’t make the same statement about my two 40 gallon reef aquariums. I got to thinking about the differences between the aquariums.…

Welcome to the Photo Gallery Spotlight. Each month we’ll showcase a particularly nice aquarium photograph, taking the time to discuss the identification and husbandry of the animal pictured as well as information relating to the technical details of how the photo was taken.…
