I have kept various aquariums (freshwater, marine and planted aquaria) for over 40 years. This blog, though not often very personal in tone allows me to explore the latest findings, articles and styles of aquarium keeping from around the world. I hope it communicates my love and interest in aquarium keeping in all its diverse forms and inspires a few ideas in others.
