http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-03/rhf/index.php The "How To" guide to reef aquarium chemistry for beginners, Part One - " This article is the first in a series that deals with coral reef aquarium chemistry issues on a basic and practical level. Its primary purpose is to get new aquarists to focus on those aspects of reef aquarium chemistry that are truly important, instead of on those that are not. "
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-04/rhf/index.phpPart 2: What Chemicals Must be Supplemented - "Its primary purpose is to get new aquarists to focus on those aspects of reef aquarium chemistry that are truly important, instead of on those that are not."
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-05/rhf/index.php Part 3: pH - "The ways of dealing with various sorts of pH problems are very well understood on a scientific basis. It also turns out that the answers may surprise many beginning aquarists."
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-09/rhf/index.php Part 4: What Chemicals May Accumulate - "Many chemicals can build up in closed coral reef aquaria. Some of these may be part offoods, top-off water or chemical supplements. Others are generated in the aquarium itself. Knowing how such chemicals get into aquarium water, and what to do about each, are the primary focuses of this article."
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-08/rhf/index.php The units of Measure - "This article provids an encyclopedic listing of the most common units of measure used in reef keeping. In most cases, the entries include definitions and conversions to other units that might be preferable to use."
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_3/cav3i4/hydrometers/Impressions.htm Hydrometers - "While it is a commonly held belief that the standard box-style, swing-arm hydrometers are inaccurate, like so much else in this hobby, this belief is based solely on anecdotal evidence and experience and not based upon scientific study."
http://web.archive.org/web/20001212230600/http://www.animalnetwork.com/fish2/aqfm/1997/sep/bio/default.asp How to properly mix synthetic salts - "The purpose of this column is to introduce a new technique for rapidly mixing synthetic seawater, and to provide general scientific advice on that process. "
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-11/rhf/index.php What is Sea Water? - "This article is intended to help aquarists better understand the water in their aquaria. It strives to give a better understanding of what happens in seawater."
http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rhf/index.htm Recommended Water Parameters - "Aquarists often ask what water parameter levels make for a successful reef aquarium. This article gathers these recommendations in one place, showing them in tables, as well as the corresponding levels in natural seawater."
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/jan2004/chem.htm The use of Tap Water - "Many aquarists ask whether it is acceptable to use tap water for their reef aquaria. The answer obviously depends on what is in their tap water."
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-05/rhf/index.htm Reverse Osmosis Water Filters - "This article describes what these multistage systems are comprised of, what each stage accomplishes, and how to make the most of an RO/DI. "
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/april2004/short.htm Water Changes - "Illustrates for you exactly why I believe that water changes are an integral part of the regular maintenance on reef tanks and how much should be changed at once."
http://www.ronshimek.com/salinity_temperature.html Recommended Water Temperatures - "Animals are "optimized" by natural selection for conditions where they are most abundant. For most coral reef animals, these optimal temperatures are between 82F and 84F. All of the richest and most diverse coral reefs have average temperatures in this range."
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-07/eb/index.htm The Need to Breath - Quote E. Borneman - "In this article, I report the results of numerous tests of various water conditions in closed system aquaria. I utilized various ways to "oxygenate" water and compared their effectiveness."
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-12/rhf/feature/index.php ORP and the Reef Aquarium - "The oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of marine aquaria is a measure of the relative oxidizing power of the water. It has often been recommended to aquarists as an important water parameter"
