Kurzbeschreibung
An alternative aquarium is a type of aquarium that uses natural processes and elements, including soil, plants, and a food chain of invertebrates to create a more complete, dynamic, and healthy habitat. In addition to these benefits, alternative aquariums can be customized to a nearly limitless extent, offering the reader the opportunity to creatively construct an amazing slice of an aquatic ecosystem in his/her home or workplace.
Included are 54 photographs (in color when viewed on Kindle for PC or Mac) which help to explain the essentials, as well as to illustrate some examples of what an alternative aquarium can look like.
This book uses plain English to explain the scientific principles that are the most important to starting and maintaining a healthy and beautiful aquarium. Concepts like pH, hardness, algae, and others are laid out in understandable language, with an emphasis on why they matter, and in what situations.
For the scientifically inclined, starting an alternative aquarium can be an excellent and enjoyable hobby!
If you’ve wanted to build a more natural aquarium habitat, ever wondered if filters are really necessary, or just been looking to start a beautiful aquarium, this book makes a useful guide and great read.
