The Coral Reef Aquarium

[amoreira]

Book like that would be great if it gives a framework for setting up and maintaining a reef aquarium. Huge amount of work to do this to get to the level of something say like The Reef Aquarium by Delbeek & Sprung. Getting it published is another challenge. Are you published yet with that book?

This looks awesome. I'm more inclined to read a book about reef tanks now that I've had one for over a year. 50% of the stuff I read when I first started went right over my head because it had no context. Now that I understand the basic principles a book like this would be incredibly valuable.

eBooks are an option to traditional print but personally, I prefer to have a hardcopy for subjects I find important.

Besides, when I'm done reading them, they can fill a shelf so I look smart

How does an Ipad make someone look smart? Gadgets dont make people look smart... being smart makes people look smart.

Dont buy the book if you dont like the idea...

i was just simply saying making it an ebook would reach a larger audience with less cost to the author

I like the fact that the books i bother to keep on the shelf are still there and in readable shape no mater how long later i pull them out..

also some people can't concentrate on the net long enough to actualy learn anything and do much better with a book.

try that with your online info. oh well to much noise to signal in here.. the cover looks awesome.

Looks good but most books that are affordable are not advanced enough for me and those that I would like to read that are for advanced aquarist are way too expensive. Hope this book is not just going to be another repeat of the basic stuff all over again and it's going to be priced reasonably.

@Amoreira,the book is being published by Two Little Fishies a Julian Sprung company. Foreword was done by Sanjay Joshi and Preface by Charles Delbeek. It will feature five tank builds from start to completion with a chapter titled "Reef Tanks From Around The World" and many other informative chapters, photos, and diagrams.
