» John Blatchford - Biotope Tanks

This article suggests that hobbyists might be able to add significantly to our understanding of marine ecosystems by experimenting with the use of 'Biotope Tanks' alongside their marine aquaria. Before a 'winning' setup is arrived at there will probably be many 'failures' - this is how we learn by experimentation. Contributing brief details of your 'failures' (and 'successes!') to this discussion might be a good way to help other enthusiasts.
Comments about this article (an those in the series being written by Ret Talbot) would also be very welcome.
