Editor's Note

Welcome to Aquaworld Aquarium, the website dedicated to sharing information about keeping aquariums and ponds for the hobbyist, professional, student, educator, and scientist. Our goals for this online publication are to take full advantage of the power of the internet and web page publishing to share articles, eBooks, and information on the science and art of keeping healthy aquatic life.

As you may have noticed on the cover page our slogan is "The Aquarium and Pond Active Online Publication." What do we mean by "Active?" Since a web page publication is not a hard copy magazine, articles, eBooks, and information can be posted anytime. There is no need for pressure to meet a deadline before an article needs to be submitted for publication. Articles can be submitted for publication on Aquaworld Aquarium's website whenever you feel your article is ready for publication. Aquaworld Aquarium is a continuous publication that has no set publication date. The publication will continue to grow in size as articles are added.

The science of maintaining aquatic life is ever-evolving. As more research and observations have been conducted, we learn more about keeping aquatic life. One advantage Aquaworld Aquarium's website has over hard copy magazines, and books are the ability to get the word out quickly on any new scientific discoveries that can help keep aquatic life.

I hope you enjoy this publication and find the information we provide useful, whether you are a hobbyist or a professional. Please feel free to send us any comments or suggestions you may have to help improve this online publication.
