Editorial: April 2002
Terry discusses his tank and introduces two new columns for the magazine.
Feature Article: Mangroves In Reef Aquaria
Growing mangroves enables one to decorate a tank to look like a fringing reef that surrounds an island, as seen from the ocean. In fact, this is what I tried to do with my 1500 gallon tank with the help of 40 mangroves.
Featured Aquarium: The Aquarium of Joe Kelley
This month, Joe shares his 180 gallon reef aquarium with us.
Breeder's Net: First in a new column
Captive breeding is the ultimate answer to current collection practices that are endangering the survival of too many species.
Aquarium Chemistry: The Chemical and Biochemical Mechanisms of Calcification
All reef aquarists are versed in the fact that such organisms remove calcium and carbonate from the water column in order to provide materials for calcification. Exactly how calcification takes place, however, is rarely considered.
The Coral Whisperer: White Corals, Part II: Bleaching and Disease 'Look-Alikes'
In this article, I limit myself to those corals having white areas that are not caused by bleaching or disease.
Aquarium Fish: The Hogfishes, Family Labridae
In this article, we will take a look at three of my favorite species of hogfishes. I am a big fan of this trio of Bodianus because they're attractive, they tend to do well in captivity, and they have interesting behavioral repertoires. So let's begin our examination!
Photo Gallery Spotlight: Banded Serpent Star
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.
Media Review: A Review Of The Media
Charles reviews the media sources for articles of interest to reefkeepers.
Product Review: Rare Earth Algae Cleaning Magnets
Cleaning the glass: It is one of the most tedious tasks of reefkeeping and yet in some respects a satisfying one.
Short Take: Indoor Air Quality: The Effects Of Carbon Dioxide On pH
It is my belief that the subject of Indoor Air Quality will be the next new topic where questions of water quality are concerned.
