Hi guys,

Just thought I'd drop in and thank Dwight for asking about the book just
released.

Obvioulsy I'd recommend it - but like Ron said - let others be the judge of
it . . . though I'm confident many individuals will like it!

It's a book by hobbyists, for hobbyists.

It's also got some knowledgable individuals that have contributed - you might
be familiar with them:

Richard Durso
Kevin Pockell
Marc Levenson
John Susbilla
Joe Burger

. . . to name just a few

If you are willing to learn more about this wonderful hobby, this is just another
great book to further you along!

Happy Reefing

If I read the ad correctly you don't actually get a book? Can you download it and print it out is that how it works? Thank.

I wasn't aware that Ron Popeil was a reefkeeper.

Hi Ron,

You are partly correct!

You can get the 'book'. It's not a paperback book but an electronic book.

It's not a pdf, which can be copied easier (since the book is copyright), but
a more secure version of an electronic book. It can be downloaded to your
computer and is interactive - it's like browsing the internet when you open
it.

Once you purchase it - you are directed to a download page and an email
is automatically generated with a unique username and password. No one
person has the same info. The username and password is used to register
the book.

You do have the option of printing as well - however, it's got over 700+ pages
as well as over 300 images . . . printing it would be - well - you know - alot!

Hope this helps!

Happy Reefing

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I have purchased the book. As knowledge is a good thing, especially in this hobby.
New & exciting & the price is worth it's weight in coral .
