About the Author
Ron got his start down the path to becoming a marine invertebrate zoologist and ecologist with his first saltwater aquarium in 1962, in Great Falls, Montana, which housed his first marine invertebrate, a small specimen of the infamous Aiptasia, along with a couple of insignificant fishes. Ron has maintained marine aquaria more or less continuously starting in 1972.

3.0 out of 5 stars
To much detail... yet not enough detail.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sand Bed Secrets: The Common-Sense Way to Biological Filtration (Paperback)
Deep Sand Beds are a pretty new concept out there. I've been reading a lot on the net about it, and got the book thinking that I would really get a lot more practical details out of it so as a marine enthusiast I could put it to work.Frankly, it has to much details on "infauna" (those critters that live in the sand bed) for the ignorant, but not enough for the really versed. And certainly did not really added a lot to what is already public knowledge.

This review is from: Sand Bed Secrets: The Common-Sense Way to Biological Filtration (Paperback)
One of the most enlightening readings on reef aquarium keeping.
Deep sand beds are maybe the most widely misunderstood topic in the hobby. People keep being unable to understand that a deep sand bed is a small ecosystem, and none of its components are "optional", also unable to understand that a properly set up sand bed puts Mother Nature(tm) to work for us essentially for free. But the devil is in the details, and Shimek points them out really well. Some people are complaining that this little gem talks too much about critters, but that's exactly the point. We are alive because legions of bugs and bacteria keep ecosystems alive, helping to keep them stable. A properly set up DSB can do the same for our tanks, and Shimek makes its case really well. I repeat, a must-read. Absolutely.

I really did not find the small booklet helpful at all. You can get more practical information from other sources.
