ABSTRACT
"Designing Reef Aquarium Systems - Thwarting Murphy's Laws"
Murphy's Law - "If anything can go wrong it will" has been the bane of many an
aquarist. A sound approach to reef systems design can go a long way in
reducing the impact of things going wrong. Drawing from the author's
experiences in keeping reef aquariums and techniques developed for other large
scale mechanical, electrical and software systems, this presentation will focus
on good aquarium system design principles, and systematic methodology to
understand and evaluate the costs, benefits, tradeoffs and risks with various
system design options.
