![]() Volume 3 covers the system side of aquariums. The subtitle is "Science, Art, and Technology", which says it pretty well.
For example, ~50 pages on plumbing/electrical, ~60 pages on water parameters, ~50 pages on filtration, ~80 pages on lighting. Well worth it ... one of the best around ![]()

![]() Do the three volumes each deal with different topics? or are they updated versions?

![]() I'd summarize them as follows:
Volume 1 - biology of corals, system setup, disease, stony corals, clams Volume 2 - soft corals, zoos, mushrooms, anenome, propagation Volume 3 - as described previously, heavy system orientation As far as duplication, half of volume 1 is probably updated in volume 3, which incorporates the latest trends. Both are still worth it since the stony corals and clams are unique to volume 1.
