Who says hobby literature has to be dull? From his off-the-wall sense of humor to his unrequited obsession with supermodels, Paul "Paul B" Baldassano is not what you'd call a typical aquarium-hobby author. Nor, by any means, is he a typical marine aquarist. A hobby pioneer in the truest sense of the word, Paul has kept saltwater aquariums for over six decades, and his current reef system has been up and running for over 44 years. It's safe to say Paul's remarkable longevity in the hobby-not to mention his ingenious inventions such as the Majano Wand-can be attributed to the self-reliant, innovative, often unconventional approach he's depended upon since his earliest days of fishkeeping. In The Avant-Garde Marine Aquarist, Paul transports readers back to the event that first awoke his passion for marine life and started the salt water coursing through his veins: an encounter with a sea turtle-on a street in lower Manhattan. From there, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, Paul recounts the history of the marine aquarium hobby (as only he can remember it) and goes on in his inimitable style to discuss:- How to buy fish in good health and keep them that way- Fish biology, including his revolutionary insights on fish immunity- Methods for maintaining healthy aquarium water- How to manage algae, pests, and common diseases- How to succeed with certain hard-to-keep species- How he would set up a tank from scratch today- A whole host of easy-to-construct, cost-cutting DIY projects- And much, much more! Paul approaches the marine aquarium hobby like no other, and his writing style has been described as "somewhere between Tolstoy and Dr. Seuss," so The Avant-Garde Marine Aquarist can hardly be described as "just another marine-aquarium book." But it is one you'll want in your library if you're ready to enjoy more than a few laughs as Paul shares some truly unique and sometimes controversial viewpoints.

The rewarding hobby of keeping marine fish in an aquarium is the subject of this superb Aquamaster book by Tim Hayes, Tristan Lougher, and Dick Mills. With full-color photographs filling every page, Marine Aquariums is lavishly illustrated with over 250 photos and drawings. The authors begin by describing the exacting demands of a marine aquarium, specifically addressing how keeping saltwater fish differs from keeping freshwater fish. The book provides information for the the marine aquarist whether he or she decides to embark on a fish-only set up, a live-rock fish-only, or a reef aquarium (that includes fish and invertebrates). The discussion of setting up the tank includes choosing and placing the tank; furnishing the tank with live rock, a substrate, and/or artificial décor elements; temperature control and lighting; water management; and installing heaters and filters. The authors discuss the choice of which fishes to include in the aquarium in terms of their compatibility with other fish, their diet, tolerance of captivity, appearance, and cost considerations. The book introduces the reader to invertebrates, too, such as sea anemones, shrimps, crabs, corals, starfish and tube worms. For marine keepers interested in pursuing a reef aquarium, the authors give step-by-step instructions, from selecting and siting the tank to adding sand, corals, snails, and so forth. Feeding saltwater fish, maintaining the tank, health care of fishes, and breeding are also discussed, providing the reader with essential information about each of these important topics. In terms of stocking the marine aquarium, the authors present the following fishes and make recommendations about buying and keeping each: clownfish, damsels and cardinals, dwarf angelfish, true angelfish, butterflyfish, wrasses, tangs, surgeonfish, triggers and puffers, groups and grammas, blennies, gobies, cowfish and boxfish as well as invertebrates (corals, shrimp, hermit crabs, etc.) and some rare but captivating options like the clearfin lionfish, pink scooter dragonet, and sea horses.

The mysterious world beneath the ocean's surface has captivated man for centuriesthe Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and ancient Chinese all kept fish in their homes for purposes other than the culinary. But it was not until the nineteenth-century invention of the aquarium that the deep was trulydomesticated, offering the curiously inclined a chance to invent their very own exotic sea world within their own walls. In this fascinating history of the aquarium, Bernd Brunner traces the development of this most wonderful invention, giving insight into the cultural and social circumstances that accompanied its swift rise in popularity. Brunner tells a compelling story of obsession, beauty, discovery, and delight, from the aquarium's humble origins as a tool for scientific observation to the Victorian era's elaborately decorated containers of oceanic curiosity, to the great public aquaria of the twentieth century.

It is is specifically to the need for instruction of keepers of coldwater marine life, whether hobbyist, dealer, public aquarist, aquaculturist, laboratory animal technician or fisheries biologist, that this work is directed. The Coldwater Marine Aquarium combines descriptive language and hard numbers in a way that meaningfully depicts the complexities of coldwater seascapes. The emphasis on biogeography in this book is strong, and not inadvertently so. Arguably, any serious marine aquarist should be at least a little conversant with certain fundamental oceanographic and ecological concepts. In that respect, it is hoped that this work serves well in rounding out the bookshelf of frankly any kind of aquarist. But it is especially incumbent upon temperate and deep-water marine aquarists (who have a special penchant for biotope aquaria) to have some biogeographic knowledge of the marinelife in their keep. To that end, a wealth of pertinent field data is given to assist in the recreation of distinct biotopes. A generous assemblage of full-color images provides many vivid examples of topics discussed in the text. 105 pages, 52,592 words.
