AWESOME!!!

Amazon's been looking for months and you find it likety-split.

I greatly appreciate it.

As an added plus, there are a couple already in the states.

Only issue I have had getting some of the more hard-to-locate books through searches like this is that many of the sellers know what they have, and tack on handling and shipping that may add as much as a third to a book in the $200 + USD market...


...and then there's the exchange rate...

Tom-do you know of anywhere over here that i could try and find a copy of this for you?

How is carbon limiting in a reef tank? I thought the rule of thumb is your alk must be at X.

Jeeze, Geoff, I dunno, A few places I have alled said they have it in stock, but when you contact them for the order, you get an email in a few days: "Sorry to inform you that your copy of (Z. Dubinsky) has been backordered..."

If you contact a few of the booksellers there, make sure that they are physically looking at the book in their hands and get a quote. The PRICE of the volume is outrageous (but normal for this type of review), The College of Charleston, of all places, has it in their reserve collection... I know of one seller here (USA) that has it, but they want over $300 USD for a used volume, and I am choking on the price. I have considered breaking down and paying for the volume several times, somehow the price is just to much, although it is an AWESOME reference and has leads to many other reference articles as part of each chapter's bibliography list.


...bu6 lemmeno if you find a volume in the sub-$180 USD price range!


Hmmmm...

If you're referencing home aquaria, I don't think that can happen even in our wildest dreams, although I have seen plenty of aquaria with almost non-existent (relatively speaking) alkalinity levels with correspondingly low Ca and pCO2...


I like Mike's old analogy of the sand bed much like a mulch pile.

...and then there are those systems with bare bottoms and Ca++ in the mid 600PPM to 700 PPM range...
