Join me in welcoming Dr. Tim Hovanec as our May speaker! Dr. Hovanec developed the aquatic research laboratory at Marineland Aquarium Products and was the Chief Science Officer at Marineland for nearly 17 years. He was instrumental in the development of the BioWheel® and other filtration systems.
He was also the first scientist to show that bacteria in the phylum Nitrospira, not species of Nitrobacter, were actually responsible for nitrification in aquatic systems such as aquaria.
Dr. Hovanec has published several peer-reviewed, scientific papers on nitrifying bacteria, water filtration and fish culture.
Dr. Hovanec has presented over 50 talks at a variety of venues including being a keynote speaker or invited speaker at scientific meetings, symposia, international aquarium conferences and aquarium society meetings.
For May's meeting he will be discussing his studies of fitration systems for marine aquaria, and which he feels are the best.
We're all looking forward to this very different perspective on marine aquaria.
