Ask the Experts

You can ask questions to marine biologist and oceanographers simply by posting your questions in ecoReef-Forums

ecoReef's team of scientific advisers is formed by experts in different branches of marine biology, oceanography and other marine sciences. These experts volunteer their time to answer your questions. Please take advantage of this valuable resource.

Team members have varying degrees of experience with Marine tanks. Although not all are experts in Marine Aquaria, they are ALL experts in their own fields of marine sciences. These people are the ones that will write the scientific (peer-reviewed) papers that will be cited in Marine Aquaria books of the future. Why wait until books get written and published? You can take a shortcut and ask them now!

We hope this heterogeneous team will bring a refreshed and out-of-the-box perspective to discussions in our forums. It is not often that Marine Scientists and Aquarium Hobbyists get to interact... this is a very unique feature of ecoReef.org and really hope that YOU take advantage from this.

To ask a question to our experts... simply post it in ecoReef-Forums under the appropriate category (click HERE to go to the Forums). For now, all our experts browse all posts in all categories.
