Ecology of the Planted Aquarium by Diana Walstad This one is great for tropical aquariums, but i suppose it's info would apply to all artificial systems that include fish and plants. It got chapters on: Plants as water purifiers- heavy metals, ammonia etc Allelopathy- interesting chapter, how to outgrow algae Bacteria- Total explanation of bacterias job in filtration, biofilms etc... It's focus is on establishing aquariums with stable plant--fish relationships, and explains most of it technically, but still comprehensible. Has alot of good stuff on plant and algae competition, allelopathy. Maybe not for everyone but makes a fascinating read. 189 pags of gold! |
