"Don’t Throw Hundreds of Dollars Down the Drain Like So Many Other Saltwater Aquarium Owners! Top Scientist Can Teach You The Painless Way To Own a Thriving Saltwater Tank”



“I’m a scientist and I want to tell you about my ultimate ‘secret weapon’ to owning that amazing marine aquarium of your dreams, and avoid the fatal mistakes that 95% of marine aquarium owners make”.


“If you ever get that nagging feeling, right in the pit of your stomach, that you don’t quite know exactly what you are doing with your precious marine fish, coral or invertebrates…. Stop right there. You are putting your expensive marine life and tank set-up at risk! You really need to read this letter now…..you don’t want to miss out on what I’m going to reveal”


If you’re sick of different websites and books telling you conflicting or confusing saltwater aquarium information and don’t know where to turn, you are not alone… Let me ask you a question, are you interested in discovering a collection of my personal tried and true techniques to successfully, cheaply and easily keeping marine fish, corals and invertebrates thriving in a breathtaking, harmonious ecosystem without the confusion, mistakes, expense and heartbreak? If so then sit back and simply listen to what I have to say!


My name is Andrej Brummer, I am a qualified Biological Scientist who became obsessed with marine biology at university, and I have since put all that scientific knowledge and passion to use setting up mind blowing marine aquariums and advising others how to do it too! At first there was a lot of trial and error; my expensive fish died, I had disease breakouts, nasty water chemistry issues wrecked havoc in my tank and I watched my corals wither and fade away! I did a lot of research online and read many books, everything advised me something different. After becoming fed up with failure I decided to finally apply my biology degree and do things according to scientific principles I had learned, and to experiment, test and measure everything scientifically and you know what, it really worked. After watching my marine life bloom, friends and colleagues began asking me to set up their reef tanks. I quickly became a complete complete marine life geek! A few years ago I again noticed the total lack of quality information around so I decided to find a way to translate all my years of fish and invertebrate learning and ability into an easy to read, simple to understand, step by step guide that absolutely anyone of any age and experience can use and benefit from. Since then I have sold over 3000 copies around the globe!


When I was 11, my mother surprised us one Christmas with a saltwater aquarium complete with a few corals and 3 fish. We were instantly spellbound, that Christmas we all found it difficult to tear ourselves away from the aquarium, even to open our other presents! Our delight only lasted a few short weeks, something was wrong the fish gradually got sicker and sicker then died while the coral faded and withered. We were so upset as we looked on helpless to what was causing this. We tried to save them but we were too late, we didn’t recognise the early warning signs, weren’t testing the right parameters and didn’t have enough knowledge. On that day I realised we were way out of our depth and had basically murdered our amazing pets and wasted almost one thousand dollars in the process. That memory took me to university to study fish and invertebrates in great scientific detail, even undertaking research on captive marine life survival and husbandry additional to my studies. That sad memory also moved me to create this much needed guide to help stop the unneccesary deaths of so many marine fish, corals and invertebrates, also to prevent people suffering like my family did; totally helpless to the expensive demise of these beautiful, majestic creatures. If only we had known then what I know now!


Don’t be fooled by number 1 fish keeping myth: A successful marine aquarium doesn’t require an additional skill set and knowledge compared to a freshwater one.


Tropical fish by definition refer to freshwater species only, so I hate to tell you but all that tropical fish information out there is totally irrelevant to saltwater aquariums!


Please don’t make the costly mistake of entrusting the livelihood of your marine creatures to the multitude of information products that are intended for "tropical" freshwater species only, or are sold by people with no formal training. This is the most commonly made mistake that will turn your passion into a costly, painful nightmare.


Here’s why… Saltwater fish are critically physiologically different to freshwater fish. They are much less adaptable and require very different treatment and conditions. Freshwater fish will happily survive many different water conditions where their saltwater counterparts would die.


Don’t be fooled by the number 2 fish keeping myth: disease in your saltwater tank happens every now and again and is just "one of those things" every marine fish keeper has to deal with.


This couldn’t be more wrong. What if I told you that by adhering to some simple practices you could reduce the chance of disease occuring in your tank to the extent it becomes a thing of the past. All you need is a little patience and forward thinking…


Don’t be fooled by the top reef keeping myth: The key to coral success is giving it enough light in your marine aquarium.


Um, not quite. To truly have thriving corals you need to optomise 4 major areas; water quality, light duration and intensity, water movement and supplementation of nutrients and secondary food sources. Without this holistic approach your corals are doomed before you even start.
