This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because it is a former featured article that I would like to see get up to at least good, preferably back to featured, however in the past I have had trouble finding problems, so I'd like some assistance with that before I start working on it.

 * The lead section needs to be expanded. Remember, according to WP:LEAD, the lead section needs to be a "concise overview".
 * Overbolding in the lead: only the title of the article and alternate names of the subject of the article should be in bold.
 * Combine some of the one-sentence paragraphs; they interrupt flow. Alternatively, expand those sentence-paragraphs with relevant information.
 * "kreisel tank" and "virtual aquarium" needs to be unbolded.
 * Aquarium maintenance needs more references; here are some examples:
 * "Large volumes of water enable more stability in a tank by diluting effects from death or contamination."
 * "Biological loading is a measure of the burden placed on the aquarium ecosystem by its living inhabitants."
 * "In addition to bacteria, aquatic plants also eliminate nitrogen waste by metabolizing ammonia and nitrate."
 * The list in the section Aquarium needs to be converted to prose, if possible.
 * Overlinking-nitrogen cycle, nitrite (among others)
 * In general, more references needed throughout
 * A good copyedit is necessary, especially if you want FA.
 * The word aquaria seems to be used a bit excessively. Is there any other word that can replace it sometimes?
