Default Would anyone be interested in a water treatment "course" for reef hobbyists?

Hey guys,

I teach a waste water treatment and pollution control course at Chemical Engineering UBC, which covers everything you'd ever need to know should you want to build a water treatment plant. The neat thing is, everything we do in this hobby such as carbon dosing (ie. biological substrate reduction), skimmers (ie. dissolved oxygen floatation), pH control and so on, are all part of the curriculum (albeit at a different scale).

I was wondering, would anyone be interested in me re-working my course material to have a focus on reef keeping and go through the technical aspects of the various methods and equipment we use to keep our systems clean? This would be of interest to DIY guys or people looking to optimize their designs.

It would realistically take me a couple months to put the material together but I'm willing to do it if there are enough people interested in me doing so.

Let me know if you are interested in this or if there was something in particular you'd want to learn about, or just vote 'no'.

Oh, and for the record, this would be free (the course is normally $550)

Cheers!
