I can remember and TV room. that every once in a while, we would go after school to the local fish store to choose a new fish or plant for the tank. One day when I was 13, I finally got tired of hearing, "Oh sorry, that one is a marine fish. You can't have it in your tank," so I asked what I needed to do to set up a marine aquarium. The guy wisely handed me a book, and that's when it all started for me. At that time, there was not much information available about how to keep marine or reef aquariums. Before the internet, the learning curve was different, and it was a slow process of learning, sometimes from experts you'd find along the way, sometimes from literature, and often from trial and error. I have gone through various phases in the hobby. The first consisted of two fish-only aquariums and one FOWLR (fish only with live rock) with some inverts as a teen, followed by my first reef in college, and then another reef aquarium when I moved out of my parents' house. Later, I got married, and my wife and I began our first reef aquarium as newlyweds. As a family, we upgraded to a 400-gallon reef aquarium, and eventually, that brought me to start planning this 250-gallon reef tank 2 years ago. The most important lesson I learned with the 400-gallon tank was that my aquarium needed to be placed somewhere I could not only see it but be able to really enjoy it. The 400-gallon tank was located in the entryway of the house, so I looked at it every time I came and went, but neither I, my family, nor my guests were able to sit there and enjoy it. Based on that realization, 6 www.reefhobbyistmagazine.com we decided to redesign the first level of our house around the new needed to have three viewing sides. The height was planned for it aquarium. to be better appreciated when seated, but if you're standing, you can easily open the top and look at it from above. It took almost a year to design the new floor plan and the aquarium system itself. The main objective was to be able to enjoy it from I am also using a CO2 scrubber at the air inlet of the skimmer to try the TV room, living room, bar, and dining room. At the same time, to bring the pH up a little bit since the aquarium is fully enclosed I wanted to make the system aesthetically pleasing, not only the and located in the middle of the house.

  • Aquacultue OPEN COURSE: NOTES PART 1
    OPEN COURSE AQ5 D01 ORNAMENTAL FISH CULTURE GENERAL INTRODUCTION An aquarium is a marvelous piece of nature in an enclosed space, gathering the attraction of every human being. It is an amazing window to the fascinating underwater world. The term ‘aquarium’is a derivative of two words in Latin, i.e aqua denoting ‘water’ and arium or orium indicating ‘compartment’. Philip Henry Gosse, an English naturalist, was the first person to actually use the word "aquarium", in 1854 in his book The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. In this book, Gosse primarily discussed saltwater aquaria. Aquarium or ornamental fish keeping has grown from the status of a mere hobby to a global industry capable of generating international exchequer at considerable levels. History shows that Romans have kept aquaria (plural for ‘aquarium’) since 2500 B.C and Chinese in 1278-960 B.C. But they used aquaria primarily for rearing and fattening of food fishes. Chinese developed the art of selective breeding in carp and goldfish, probably the best known animal for an aquarium. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first to keep the fish for ornamental purpose. World’s first public aquarium was established in Regents Park in London in 1853. Earlier only coldwater fishes were kept as pets as there was no practical system of heating which is required for tropical freshwater fish. The invention of electricity opened a vast scope of development in aquarium keeping. The ease of quick transportation and facilities for carting in temperature controlled packaging has broadened the horizon for this hobby.
