Reef Chemistry Review -- Syllabus

There is a moderately steep learning curve associated with aquarium chemistry and hobbyists often get conflicting or confusing responses when they ask questions of their local aquarium/pet stores or other hobbyists. The main goal of this course is to dispel some of the confusion and mystery that surround subjects of marine aquarium chemistry. It will do so by providing the background necessary for understanding basic subjects such as the differences between atoms and ions as well as complex subjects such as ionic strength and the marine carbonate buffer system. It is the instructor's goal that, by the end of the course, students feel comfortable with both the science-specific end of aquarium chemistry and what it means in the real world. This course is a review, but it will have information for a range of aquarist experience from early beginners to more advanced individuals.
