The Coral Reef Aquarium by Tony Vargas is the next great book of reefing

By on Sep 08, 2010

Our good friend Tony “Tuba Taha” Vargas is putting the finishing touches on his new book The Coral Reef Aquarium which will focus on start to finish of how to set up a slammin reef tank. Coral and Fish identification books and guides are published often enough but it’s been a while since we’ve had a great new reef book. Included in the book are many chapters on modern techniques and designs for how reef tanks are set up in the 21st century. The second half of the book is a gallery and information section on some of the most amazing reef aquariums from around the world in a vein that is similar to the Nature Aquarium World series. Tony’s book should go to print within the month and be widely available for educating a whole new crop of beginner to advanced reef aquarists in time for the winter reefing season.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Tony Vargas at the Two Little Fishies booth during MACNA. While pursuing through the book Tony pointed out some of the best practices distributed throughout the book. One great one comes to mind the back-up drain in the overflow box. This book is very well thought-out and he seems like a real nice guy, I wish him much success with his book. The photos and graphs are incredible. Tony I will buy one as soon as you release the book, when is that?

    I have already requested a signed copy since some of the fish pictured are mine.
    Took a peek @ MACNA and was impressed.
    Nice job my friend.

    I am sure Tony will be very informative (as he always is) on the basics and insights of the Coral Reef. His passion will captivate the enthusiast. I have had the pleasure of personally experiencing his knowledge. He is without exaggeration an asset to the growth of this exciting hobby – sport.

    I cannot find any information about when this book will be available, and I also haven’t figured out how to contact the publisher (twolittlefishies) although I did send them a email to their website over a week ago, they never responded. Does anyone have any clue, or am I waiting to buy a book that may be out a year from now? I mean I thought it was supposed to be out last month?

    It turns out, I spent most of the day at Two Little Fishies today, going over the final lay-out of the book. Two Little Fishies will make an announcement soon as to the release date of the book, which looks like sometime in the spring. There will be a special announcement so keep your eyes open.

    Thanks,
