Synopsis

Under specific conditions just about any seaweed, turf alga, phytoplankton or cyanobacteria can bloom and become "problematic." In this book Julian Sprung focuses on the varieties of algae that commonly do so in aquariums. He identifies them with Latin and common names, photographs of their gross morphology and photographs taken under the microscope that depict important identifying features. The author gives an extensive set of recommendations for ways to control the growth of each alga through a combination of aquarium husbandry practices and the use of specific herbivores.

At some point every aquarist encounters a problem with algae. Solving the problems and controlling the algae can be a real test of ones patience and skill. If you are about to give up your hobby because your expensive aquarium has an out-of-control algae bloom that is driving you crazy, don’t give up! Buy this book and follow Julian’s advice.

About the Author

Julian Sprung began studying marinelife more than 30 years ago in South Florida. He is a biologist, author and aquarium design consultant. His research of coral reef ecosystems in nature and in specially designed reef aquariums has involved travel to many countries. Julian photographed the algae and other marinelife for this book on reefs and in aquariums around the world. Julian writes about his work for various aquarium hobby publications, and his monthly column, "Reef Notes" in Freshwater and Marine Aquarium magazine has been compiled in a book series, Reef Notes Revisited and Revised. Julian also co-wrote with J. Charles Delbeek The Reef Aquarium Volumes One & Two, considered the "bibles" on the subject.
