New book offers beginners a step-by-step guide to affordable, low-maintenance aquariums
PERTH, Australia /Massachusetts Newswire – National News/ — Acre Press and author Oliver Jamieson today announced the release of “How to Create an Organic Aquarium: The Beginner’s Guide to Soil-Based Aquariums” (ISBN: 978-1763713772). The book explains how soil, plants, and microorganisms can replace traditional filtration and simplify aquarium care. Written in an approachable style, it is aimed at beginners who want a straightforward, affordable way to start the hobby.
“Many aquariums fail in the first few months because new owners become overwhelmed,” says Jamieson. “This guide shows how to build a tank that finds its own balance, making it easier to maintain and enjoy.”
KEY TOPICS INCLUDE:
* Replacing filters with soil, plants, and microorganisms
* Understanding aquarium water chemistry in plain English
* Practical step-by-step instructions for setting up your aquarium
