Success can be defined in different ways, such as achieving a desired goal previously planned, or something significant that turns out well, or a level of power, wealth or fame that is attained as a result. Whatever or however you define your success as, it can generally begin as an interest you may have in something or a hobby you enjoy participating in - all of which stem from a specific passion.

This hobby can be very disastrous if not taken seriously and can surely break your pocket book if you do not get the right advice! More
importantly though, is the responsibility that goes along with it - lending a hand to the growth of living creatures that are part of this
growing planet we live on.
Our goal as saltwater fish and reef keeping hobbyists is to be able to successfully maintain a beautiful, pristine yet stable mini-ocean
environment, all the while maintaining the proper conditions for the health of our fishy pets which would include the fish, the invertebrates,
the corals and all the other living organisms!
Well, I’m firm believer in not "reinventing the wheel twice". If your wish is to be successful in this hobby – then you don't need to look
any further! Introducing Reef Keeping Basics - Successful Reef Management (so new that this book hasn't even hit the bookshelves yet!),
an enlightening, colorful and informative book!
So what’s the big deal about this book . . . ? Well, it’s a book written by hobbyists, for hobbyists!
I truly feel that this book will help guarantee your success within this hobby by providing you a front-seat look into the minds of 14
dedicated reef keeping hobbyists with a combined total of 110 years experience! What better way to learn! This book is about these 14
individuals describing what it takes to manage a reef tank with success - no matter what kind of experience you may have!
I painstakingly interrogated 14 'professional' reef keeping hobbyists in just about every area of this awesome hobby! They were selected
from the saltwater/reef keeping community who've proved beyond a reasonable doubt that they are responsible, professional and successful
at maintaining saltwater/reef systems. Most of these fine individuals have developed their experience through 'trial' and 'error' within
this hobby and there are no better individuals who can give advice such as them.
They've experienced what you have and more. They have succumbed to some of the most common mistakes and have dug themselves out of their
own trenches! In the end they have shown what it takes to be successful at managing a beautiful, closed yet fragile reef environment.
As a result of many thought provoking questions, the contributor's were able to convey many exciting and revealing answers! Learning from
these folks could absolutely increase your chances of success within this hobby hundreds of times over . . . if you simply follow their
advice!
The unique style of this book lets you, the reader, decide what advice will best fit your individual needs.
If you are willing to learn more about this wonderful hobby, this is just another great book to further you along!
If you like 'eye candy', then you'll really be amazed at the 345+ digital images of fish, corals, inverts and equipment as well as be
overwhelmed with the 700+ 'pages' of awesome info contained within this 'book'!
If you feel I might be ‘pumping’ up this book, don’t take my word for it! You can read all the rave testimonials and reviews it’s
received posted on my site.
So what are you waiting for – take a peak and decide if you really want to get serious in this fantastic hobby!
