If you are interested in submitting an article presenting your aquarium for Featured Aquarium in Advanced Aquarist, please contact wade@reefs.org.

You may use the following guidelines for the writeup and feel free to peruse previous submissions for ideas on how others have written their articles for publication. We would like the following included in your submission:

• Date of first setup for the tank, and any subsequent major changes and approximate dates.
• Equipment setup including lighting, filtration, sump, refugia,layout of the aquascaping, decisions for each item, etc.
• Occupant lists or paragraphs descibing them, and any additional information (why, how, when, etc).
• Maintenance schedule, water changes, and other relevant information.
• A series of unique images showing your tank. Preferrably in jpg format and 6-800 pixels in size. 10-20 images will suffice, but more are welcome.

Please send the document in Rich Text Form (RTF) where possible (Microsoft Word and Open Office documents are ok as well) and send image files separate from the body of the text. Our graphics editor and editor in chief will place the images into the article and use snippets to create thumbnails for the table of contents, etc.

Please understand that submissions may not be posted as the following month's featured tank. There is frequently a predefined series of articles that occur interspersed with others. Final decisions regarding publication and publication date of submitted articles rests with the Editor in Chief.

Advanced Aquarist prides itself on presenting unique and scientifically leading information. As a hobbiest, you are on the forefront of that curve, hence we ask for your ideas and progressions, especially in regards to maintaining a safe and happy environment for marine animals.
