*I've been on the wait list for the Aquatic Systems Engineering: Devices and How they Function by Escobal forever.
 
Steve - is that the same as Aquarium Corals? That's what I thought mine was called...maybe it is just Corals?
 
Speaking of Fish Magazines....anyone get one regularly?
 
They use to sell them here, but not very many people are interested in paying for a fish magazine on an Island surrounded by fish. So, I usually have to wait until I go away to get some or when my friend at the LFS gets an order in and then send them a few copies.
 
the best beginner book

The New Marine Aquarium by Michael Paletta, is a great book for beginners. It's a good step by step. There is a dealer in our area that won't sell you your first fish unless you can answer questions from the book.
 
Tropical Fish Hobbyist Zine...:) Try to get one once a month
And I think that is pretty cool he won't sell you fish untill then, thats pretty funny. I would of never gotten started in this hobby if I had to do that...
