Only the tropical rainforest comes even close to the degree of environmental diversity and stability represented by a coral reef. With all functional elements delicately balanced and operating at peak efficiency, the coral reef is a model of dynamic equilibrium. The task of the marine aquarist desiring to keep a reef or mini-reef tank therefore becomes an operation designed to do exactly that: maintain the balance of the reef within the confines of the aquarium. That is why this book places a heavy emphasis on making sure that readers understand the basic working so of natural coral reefs-what they are, how they’re distributed, their shape and structure and, most importantly, the coral reef environment itself. Every topic of significance, from selecting the proper tank and choosing the proper substrate right through maintaining mini-reef water quality and stocking the tank and feeding its inhabitants, is covered thoroughly with the basic equilibrium of the natural reef in mind.
