The secret to successful fish keeping is Water Quality, Water Quality, Water Quality!! It is estimated that up to 90% of fish health issues and deaths are due to poor water quality. To be successful in caring for aquarium fish, it is important to be able to understand water quality and be able to talk the language that the hobbyists do.

E-Reef Conference 2020
The E-Reef Conference 2020 brought together coral enthusiasts and professionals from around the world for four days of live online presentations, discussions, and knowledge sharing. Designed for aquarium hobbyists, public aquarium and zoo aquarists, researchers, coral biologists, conservationists, and marine science professionals, the conference provided a unique opportunity to learn from some of the leading experts in coral reef science and husbandry.
Held online during the week commencing 19 October 2020, the conference featured more than four hours of live content each day, including expert presentations and interactive Q&A sessions. Topics covered a broad range of coral-related disciplines, including taxonomy, anatomy and physiology, water chemistry and life support systems, coral breeding and conservation, biosecurity, disease management, and reef aquarium design and maintenance.
Presenters included internationally recognised experts such as Julian Sprung discussing coral nutrition, David Lee from Seachem presenting on reef water chemistry, and Brendan Sullivan from Kessil covering lighting for reef aquariums, along with many other respected speakers from across the industry and scientific community.
