My do it yourself reef fish tank equipment eBooks came about because I was sick and tired of Fish tank Equipment costing so much money. What most hobbyist don't know is that if they hire a professional to set up their tank, the crew comes in and and usually custom builds most of the equipment. So I set out to custom build most of my equipment. I have to say that after doing so, I don't know why anyone would pay those EXTREMELY high prices for the store bought versions of the same equipment All the stuff I have built does without question match up with the most expensive stuff out there, for a fraction of the cost!!! (AND SO EASY TO BUILD). Before I wrote these E-book, I did loads of research and found tons of information in books, on the internet, and from other hobbyist. I decided to put all that I learned in one easy place. So if you are looking into doing any of these projects all the information and instructions are right here in these easy to follow step by step eBooks.
