Starting in 1983, Aquarium Systems announced its quarterly free publication–SeaScope. As its distribution spread across the US, SeaScope established itself as a pioneer in marine aquaria related literature. Now Aquarium Systems is no more, as Spectrum Brands picked up the Instant Ocean line along with Marineland, Tetra, Perfecto and more… only to then file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. As they restructure their over leveraged company, perhaps we’ll see more of this once great information source; on the Instant Ocean site they state, “After a brief hiatus, SeaScope is back and better than ever.”
Enjoy the archive’s old articles written by industry professionals like Julian Spring, Scott Michael, Mike Paletta, and more.
