Just learned that feeding your fish infrequently, up to twice daily, with the "best" of foods is the wrong thing to do! The right way to feed your reef fish is frequently, automatic feeder, with "less than the best" of foods. I do not really need this information because I am mainly immersed...

I am thinking of building a saltwater plant only tank where I would dump my old tank water on one end and collect it on another. I believe that they do this with koi and I forget the name of the type of pond it is called but am wondering if the same thing can be translated to saltwater. What do...

This might be a little premature because I have not read the entire book. But I have to rant and rave becasue I love it so much already. I have read almost every book about keeping reef tanks and this is the best one. It is the perfect mix of science and practical explanations on how to do...
