Mangroves and Seagrasses
Aquarists can help research into the conditions necessary for healthy mangrove and seagrass development. This could help preserve coral reefs.

Replicating Habitat in the Tank
It is so easy in the marine aquarium hobby to focus on the equipment, but the aquarist interested in biotope set-ups is well served to study the natural habitat first.

Choosing a Return Pump
An aquarium's flow rate is influenced by how many gallons per hour of water are pumped back to the tank by the return pump. Here is how to calculate what pump you need.

Creating Current in a Marine Tank
When attempting to create a biotope-specific tank where the physical characteristics are dominated by strong flow, more than a simple return pump is needed.

CUCKOOS OF EASTERN HIMALAYAS(CONTINUED...)
small slim cuckoo. Above, bright rufous or bay, conspicuously cross-barred with brown. Tail largely rufous, the feathers tipped white and subtipped black. Below (including sides of head and neck) whitish, with fine wavy brown crossbars. Sexes are alike. Easily confused with hepatic female of plaintive cuckoo, but calls usually diagnostic.

Brackish Water Aquariums
A brackish aquarium has the easy maintenance of a freshwater tank but allows the aquarist to raise many unusual fish that are native to more salty water.
