Ultimate Marine Aquariums

[geologeek]

Just bought this book! its sort of good as a general read on the toilet (but ill read a bleach bottle if i have to!) but the quality of the photos is very poor and the author (michael s paletta) basically tells you about systems that have been set up but does not tell you how they were created except for the hardware used.

I like the raaw data on water motion, lighting methods and intenities, and filtration. The ones i liked strenthened my beliefs in high waterflow/high lighting (higher then most "highs&quot. I agree though....a bit too broad for learning too much...but still a good read.

got the book couple of weeks ago I thought it was too general it didnt get to into the tanks setup or even the start and the finished some of the tanks he could have saved there no way an average reefer is going to have the dough and time that some of these guys have I mean face it some of us would be on divorce court with an 20.000 gal reef in the rec room pg 58

I never heard of the book! "The Conscientious Marine Aquarium" by Robert Fenner is very good. So is "Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman. I'll tell ya though, BOOKS on REEFS and CORALS are very expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
