Well you will need to send it to me so I can read it and get an opinion.

If its no good I could just keep it so you don't waste your time.

if you follow that kind of thing yea its the book to get. it was a good buy.

Ignore what Clummox said. I hear it is very long and technical and boring and you will probably not like it at all. You should send it to ME instead so I can write Amazon reviews under multiple pseudonyms advising people not to buy it. This would be a public service and you could write the cost of the book off on your taxes next year. Seriously.

/sits quietly in an acrid pool of jealousy

hahaha hmm two people want it but its no good eh? *** soon as it get delivered ill read it and tell you how it is

It's an interesting read. You'll learn a lot. Some stuff will probably be over your head, but some won't. Most of the stuff you'll learn is available on the internet if you know the right questions to ask The Google...granted, a lot of the answer are people repeating stuff from her book, but still.

It's a nice collection of knowledge.

best answer really. when it comes to personal opinions what i think might not be the same as you think. thus we have what filter is better wars...... in the end we should just all agree sw sucks.

Well if for some reason you decide you don't like or want it you still can send it to me. I think I could suffer through it somehow.

Seriously I think you will decide it is a very good addition to your tools for keeping fish.

I will get a copy someday lol.

Yeah good book, just really really really really real..............(snore) But aside from that it's got some good info in it. I picked up a digital version of it to see if its worth buying or not next time I get to Memphis or Nashville with the bigger/better bookstores. So if anyone's interested in getting a sample of it let me know.

Oh and D. Walstad has a website too, its where I've been going for more info on doing this type of set up. www.aquaticplantcentral.com
