Anyone have Volume 2 or 3 of The Reef Aquarium?

[dgphelps]

I have volume 1 and would love to borrow volume 2 and or 3. The books were written by Julian Sprung and J. Charles Delbeek and I can't seem to find them in libraries. And, as I am currently saving for my future aquarium am not ready to plunk down $60 each.

I would be happy to provide some form of collateral.

I am trying to plan out my next system and would like to read as much reference material as I can get my hands on. I have a pretty good idea the direction I wish to go and would like to determine maintenance schedules, happy cohabitation of tank life etc.

I am very interested in trying to find a way to setup a system that will provide me with life I can use to trade with other reefers. I am sure a few of you will remember my plans of setting up a live sand project and my goal is to get a healthy population of stomatella varia, various worms, pods etc for trade to help other reefers sandbed life diversity along with perhaps the addition of breeding clownfish, rotifers and mysids.

I also have a question about tanks for you all. Glass or Acrylic? I am thinking I will go with a 75 gallon tank when I get around to setting up. I have never had a sump but would like to setup a behind the tank sump or maybe under the tank. I still have a deep fear of spills caused by under the tank sumps.

I look forward to discussing my plans with you and getting feedback from local reef keepers.

Best-

Hey Daniel I think I have two - let me check when I get home.

I have all of them. I could lend you #3. #1&2 are signed, so I would like to keep those. Just so you know, #3 is very basic in reference to #1 and #2. If you got thru #1, #3 is basic stuff.

Nice new avatar Eileen! That stinks Qwiv, they make it sound like three is the great completion of the series.

Also Eileen, I will pull the Mag and skimmer out of my storage tonight when I get home so I don't put it off anymore. I am know for some procrastination, but this was a little extreme, even for me. I was going to do an inventory of what items I have that I can reuse for my next setup anyhow so this will be a way to get it all done right away.

Thanks for the replies! Also, does anyone have any thoughts on the glass vs. acrylic topic?

Daniel - I do have volume 2 if you're interested.

Definitely Eileen! That's great news. We should work out a swap.
