“Aquarium design begins with thinking about the fishes we will put in the tank and how they live in the wild.”

pleasing and healthier marine aquarium. CORAL International Editor Daniel Knop introduces our cover feature series.
First-time CORAL contributor Dr. Paul Whitby is well known on the North American aquarium lecture circuit for his expertise
in reef aquascaping. Now, we bring his insights to an international CORAL readership in his debut article, MINDFUL AQUASCAPING.

in the United States.
