Practical Marine Fishkeeping

Practical Marine Fishkeeping is our annual 68-page marine magazine and is packed with tips for reefkeepers and marine enthusiasts at all levels of the hobby.

Raptors of the reef
Full of character, easy to keep and interesting to observe, hawkfishes are a firm favourite with many fishkeepers. Scott Michael takes a look at their requirements in the aquarium.

Picture this
Photographer Neil Hepworth loves taking pictures of reef aquaria so much that six months ago, he set up a tank of his own. It's already looking great. Find out how he did it, and take a look at his step-by-step guide to setting it all up.

Cultivating the bubbles
Bubble corals make unique specimens in the reef tank. James Fatherree takes a close look at their husbandry.

Frequently asked questions...
As a specialist marine shop, the team at STM get asked loads of questions on setting up and maintaining marine systems. Here are a few of the most common queries from their customers.

Claws
Julian Sprung explains why crabs make such great pets and takes a look at some of those which are commonly available.

Doing what comes naturally
Les Holliday will shortly start a new series of "Great Reef Tanks" in PFK and feature some of the best hobbyist reef tanks in the world. To give a taste of what we can look forward to, here is the tank of German fishkeeper Marcus Resch.

Breeding and raising marines
it is commonly thought that breeding marines is incredibly difficult, but as Tim Hayes explains, the real problem lies in feeding - and raising - the fry.

Keeping it clean
Chemical filtration is probably one of the least understood filtration processes, yet it is extremely beneficial for achieving good water quality. Bob Goemans explains what it is and how it works.

Lion kings
Marine aquaria house some odd creatures, but of the many fish we keep, few are more odd than the lionfish. Phil Hunt takes a close-up look at these bizarre fish.

First Sight
The latest equipment and books on the market for the reefkeeper.
