The Power of One Person

This book represents what one person, one determined person — no, what one dedicated person can do. When it comes to incredibly beautiful aquaria full of big healthy fish and fantastic corals of all shapes and sizes, one might naturally think of public aquaria which are thousands or tens of thousands of gallons in size, located in huge buildings and staffed by several professional full-time aquarists backed by a water quality laboratory. Here in these pages is the proof that those features are not required to achieve the pinnacle of success with marine aquaria.

When I first saw Wayne Shang’s tanks, I couldn’t believe them. The fish-only tank had the largest specimens of marine tropical fish I had ever seen in a home aquarium. Their fitness and size were better and larger, respectively, than any I had ever seen, even in a public aquarium. Plus, these were not the fish considered to be easy by the many experts in the hobby; they were difficult and impossible ones. Here they were in sizes that one can’t comprehend, but you see them with your own eyes. I thought it could not be possible to surpass this accomplishment; but then, he showed me his reef tank. Again, this tank would have been impossible to fathom, had it not been in front of my own eyes. The density, size, and variety of corals; the numbers, types, and colors of fish rivaled anything I had seen diving in places like Fiji, Bonaire, the Philippines, and Grand Cayman.

The reef tank truly represented the closest I had ever seen of someone, anyone, replicating a slice of Mother Nature.

As you look through these pages, remember these are home aquaria. Their size, their location, their filtration and lighting set-ups are not complicated systems designed by some NASA-like engineering firm and professional architect. No, the components are available to anyone. The tanks and the areas around the tanks were clean and would be acceptable to any

Foreword

“significant other.” None of the tangled cords, salt creep, smells, and assorted clutter normally associated with aquaria was present. These are pristine, beautiful showpieces that demonstrate what an “amateur” can do. Amateur in only that one is not monetarily compensated for the effort. However, there is nothing amateur about the tanks, the set-ups, the organisms, the filtration, and the results of Wayne’s efforts.

Nonetheless, there is a secret ingredient. The secret ingredient that provides Wayne Shang success in my opinion? Dedication. It is obvious he is not satisfied with average, not satisfied with unsupported answers and claims, not satisfied with normal. Yes, many things are unknown about what it takes to achieve true success in this hobby. However, as this book so clearly demonstrates, one person with the will, the inquisitiveness, and the dedication to a goal can achieve the aspiration that so many strive to attain: marine aquaria that replicate and honor nature.

Enjoy this book and what it represents. In these days of “crowd following” and passive acceptance of inferior products, it is refreshing to know there are still concrete, visible examples of what one person can accomplish when he dedicates himself to a task. No committees, no big groups, no panel of experts — just a single person with a goal who builds and maintains the best closed marine aquaria possible, and provides the fish and corals the opportunity to grow and prosper as never before in captivity. It can be done. Here is the proof.

It was with pleasure that I accepted Wayne’s invitation to write this foreword. Please take time to study these photos and appreciate the work, time, and dedication that is behind the results you see in these pages: they show the power of one person.

WW-065 Marine Angelfishes By Joachim Frische 1998, hback, 64 pages $9.95

The fishes of the family Pomacanthidae, which form the group popularly known as marine angelfishes, are among the most beautiful and interesting fishes in the world. Because of their good looks and their other bases of appeal, they have been among the most sought after of all species for saltwater aquaria. Unfortunately, they are not among the easiest of fishes to keep; over the course of time, in fact, a number of them have gained a reputation for being overly delicate. In some cases that reputation is deserved, as a few of the pomacanthids make demands that can be satisfied only by experienced specialists. But success with many of these truly exotic fishes can be attained simply by following the very practical recommendations made by author Joachim Frische in this book. One of Europe's most renowned marine aquarist/scientist, Frische has a special dedication to the marine angelfishes, and his book is a testament to his efforts to provide information that will allow marine hobbyists of all levels of experience to keep these beauties successfully. He puts the expertise he has gained over many years of angelfish specialization to good use in covering every area of angelfish care, from specific recommendations about dietary regimens and which species can be kept together and which can't - which ones are better candidates for reef tanks - right through pair formation and mating behavior. Illustrated with more than one hundred full-color photos, the book is a very valuable identification guide to the many species discussed as well as an eye-pleaser in its own right.

WW-024 Reef Aquarium, Keeping a By U. Erich Friese hardback, 64 pages, Only the tropical rainforest comes even close to the degree of environmental diversity and stability represented by a coral reef. With all functional elements delicately balanced and operating at peak efficiency, the coral reef is a model of dynamic equilibrium. The task of the marine aquarist desiring to keep a reef or mini-reef tank therefore becomes an operation designed to do exactly that: maintain the balance of the reef within the confines of the aquarium. That is why this book places a heavy emphasis on making sure that readers understand the basic working so of natural coral reefs-what they are, how they're distributed, their shape and structure and, most importantly, the coral reef environment itself. Every topic of significance, from selecting the proper tank and choosing the proper substrate right through maintaining mini-reef water quality and stocking the tank and feeding its inhabitants, is covered thoroughly with the basic equilibrium of the natural reef in mind. $14.95

N-953 Realm of the Pygmy Seahorse: An Underwater Photography Adventure Text & Photos by Constantinos Petrinos 2002, hardback, 256 pages, 290 color photos $60.00

The author uses underwater images from the Lembeh Strait (North Sulawesi, Indonesia) to explain the behavior of fishes and invertebrates.

Realm of the Pygmy Seahorse is a book project that took approximately four years to complete. For the photography, the author did several trips to the Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The core expedition lasted 5 months.

The author wanted to avoid just posing nice photographs with little information because he believed that the readers nowadays wants to learn more about the subjects. Therefore, he devoted a lot of time doing research about the behavior on the subjects in his photographs.

He also wanted to give answers to questions that he had for years. For example, "how do crinoid shrimps manage to acquire the exact same color as their host crinoid" or "is an octopus color blind?

David W. Behrens, who was the scientific editor, spent countless hours assisting him with the text in terms of scientific accuracy. His contribution and encouragement have been tremendous.

In the book you will find no poetry, a few jokes and a lot of scientific information about the behavior of the subjects in the photographs.
