Details

    I bought the book 2 years ago before deciding to switch my 75 gallon fish only over to a reef. Simplified Reef Keeping was so easy to followit made the transition very easy.


    Although I did not follow ever single aspect laid out i used it as a solid foundation in attempting to keep my reef thriving, and from these pictures you can see how simple it can bee with proper lighting , filtration , water make up etc.. as was laid out in your book.
