THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AQUARIUMS OF THE WORLD By Alf Jacob Nilsen and Svein A. Fosså

|
| Recent aquarium books are more beautiful and better equipped than ever. The factual contents have a quality unforeseen. Fishes, invertebrates and plants are identified with scientific accuracy. Well-educated and serious professionals describe the technical equipments, foods and maintenance routines with dedication and seriousness. The faith of the aquarium animals has never been in better hands. The likeliness to achieve success, as an aquarium keeper, is greater today than ever before. |  |

|
| Still, to a large extent, modern aquarium books have lost track of one of the major considerations people have when contemplating setting up an aquarium in the first place. Surely, quite a few new aquarists have chosen their hobby foremost in order to study the aquatic world really up-close, but in a modern home, more and more people are concerned about what the aquarium can do to the interior of their own home. |  |

In Tectum's newest book project "The Most Beautiful Aquariums of the World" the sole focus is, for the first time in any modern aquarium book, on what an aquarium can do to your home. How a well-designed aquarium can become a focal point in even the most fashionable of living rooms. The Tectum team selected and photographed the top-of-the-top aquariums from amongst several of the most discriminating aquarium owners in the world. “The Most Beautiful Aquariums of the World” is not your average aquarium book. It is a book about the use of aquariums as decorative elements and focal points in room furnishing. This book focuses at architecture, decoration, furniture, as well as aquariums and living aquatic organisms. Through sequences of beautiful photography and short pieces of texts, it tells the story of how a small segment of nature, in the form of life in a glass encased box, can be a part of a beautiful room interior. |

| AMAZON REVIEW:
Best marine aquarium book ever, February 2, 2004
|
 |
| UK Only' Aquarist Classifieds Readers Review:
An ideal introduction to reefkeeping. This book is an ideal introduction to reefkeeping, covering the basic techniques and accepted best practice with a chapter each on lighting requirements, maintaining water quality, aquascaping, algae, feeding, and conservation. There is a stocking guide covering around 400 of the more commonly available species of fish, corals and invertebrates. Each brief species description is accompanied by an excellent photo and clearly set out advice on their care requirements and the degree of challenge. For me though, what made this book stand out from many others covering similar territory were the two chapters on modelling and stocking aquariums to try to emulate real biotopes and ecological niches. They provide inspirational, yet practical, examples of the different sorts of themes you could consider - be it a Red Sea cave or a reef gorge - and how to implement them. This has been done before, most notably in John Tullock's 'Natural Reef Aquariums', but that just did not affect me the way this book has. Nor is Tullock's book as current - a real issue given the speed with which this hobby is evolving. Nilsen and Fossa know what they are talking about. They are the authors of the four volume Modern Coral Reef Aquarium series of books - probably the most comprehensive and respected European reference books on reefkeeping and the identification and care of the species inhabiting them. So in summary: a well written, beautifully illustrated, comprehensive and inspirational guide to reefkeeping by two authoritative and internationally respected authors. |

| The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium Vol. 4
Aquarium keeping of snails, mussels, sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, |
||
| The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium Vol. 4 covers several important invertebrate groups of great interest and importance to the modern reef aquarium keeper: Molluscs, Echinoderms, Tunicates and more!
Hardcover, 480 pages, 1030 color photos, 60+ line drawings and B/W photos, several tables.
|
 |
|
Content:
Molluscs, such as snails, slugs and bivalves, commonly found in the trade are discussed in detail. Like in previous volumes of this book series, also more obscure and rare members of the phylum are covered to the extent, which can be of value to the marine aquarist. Echinoderms - or spiny skinned animals - are shown in spectacular photos, and the biology and aquarium care of the many interesting brittle stars, starfishes, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins are described in detail. |
 |
|
The book also discusses the interesting group of sea squirts, or tunicates. These organisms, which are very insufficiently covered in most aquarium books, are dealt with in detailed accuracy and illustrated with magnificent colour photos. The world number one expert, the late Dr. Patricia Kott of Queensland Museum, Brisbane, Australia has contributed greately to make this chapter one of the most comprehensive overviews of tropical tunicates! As an introduction to the book, Dr. Bruce Carlson (former Director of the Waikiki Aquarium, Hawaii) has written a fascinating chapter on "The Future of Reef Aquariums". Together with the other three MCRA volumes, this book completes your knowledge on the invertebrates of the "Modern Coral Reef Aquarium"! |
