I like aquaria, and I found the article compelling.

Evaluate the article
This article, is well written, cohesive, and presents appropriate media for each subject brought up. The chronology of the article works well with the history and how the materials used for an aquarium have evolved over time. I noticed that that the facts were accurate, however some of the statements made did not have accompanying sources. Although the information was true, I only knew this because of my knowledge of the subject prior to reading the article. I believe it could be a bit stronger in the citing of sources when discussing pre 20th century information. By this I mean, explain how the information was obtained, whether it be written accounts, or archeological discovery, etc.

One thing I noticed was the lack of consistency when using the plural of aquarium. There are two different plurals; one being aquaria, and the other is aquariums. Although both are correct, I would expect consistency and for the article to not refer to one version and the other. I also did see some talk of this on the talk page, which I appreciate, because I was not the only person who observed this.

I did feel like link were placed in appropriate places that could help someone who is not entirely aware of certain materials or types of plants or fish.

I am pretty new to wikipedia but overall I enjoyed this a lot.
