Hi Folks,

With the permission of Reefland's owners, I am taking this opportunity to announce AHABS - Aquarium Husbandry Articles By Subscription.

This is an "ezine," issued as a series of high quality, fully referenced, scientifically-sound articles written for the serious aquarist. These articles will appear here and nowhere else.

I am the author of all the articles.

Each issue consists of three articles, the primary article consisting of new information and two subsidiary of previously published, but significantly revised information.

Each primary article will be at least 4000 and 5000 words long; this is typically twice the length of a standard aquarium magazine article. Some articles, for example the microscopy article in Volume 1, Issue 3, are considerably longer than that. Each article will be in the Word.doc format. If there is sufficient demand, I will consider publishing them in pdf format.

The first three issues have been published; the contents are listed below. If you are interested in purchasing an issue or an subscription to the complete volume, please follow the link above.
