The Avant-Garde Marine Aquarist by Paul Baldassano Pdf

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 Macmillan Book of the Marine Aquarium by Nick Dakin Pdf

Sea water covers nearly three quarters of the Earth's surface and the wealth of life that it supports is astounding in its diversity. The often vividly colorful fishes and strange and intriguing invertebrates of the coral reef world are certainly captivating, and more and more aquarists are turning their attention to them. The appeal of the marine aquarium lies not only in the beauty of its inhabitants, however, but also in the challenge it presents to the aquarist - the most spectacular species are often also the most difficult to keep. For those willing to accept this challenge, this definitive reference book will prove an invaluable tool in helping to ensure success in a very rewarding hobby. The book is divided into six main parts. The first examines life on the reef, provides an insight into fish anatomy and studies the various major groups (phyla) of invertebrates that are of interest to the aquarist. This section closes with an informative look at the topical issues of collection and conservation. Part Two gives practical advice on setting up a marine aquarium, from exploring the options to the final preparations for the tank's inhabitants, while Part Three focuses on how to choose species and maintain them in the aquarium. Parts Four and Five feature fully illustrated surveys of the many different species of fish and invertebrates (respectively) suitable for the home aquarium. An increasingly popular area of the hobby - the coldwater marine aquarium - is explored in Part Six, which also suggests a number of suitable species. Finally, the book contains two appendices: on tropical marine algae and on species to avoid.
