Most of the information was abvious.

So far, very good!

In my opinion you can find more information online. And also there is not enough pictures about the equipments or live stock. For example talking about PS but there is no picture of a PS. I don't know about the authors books but this course is useless in my opinion.

This video is very straight forward and informational. It really makes me feel confident knowing that I have all of the right information in one place.

I would enjoy it better if there were pictures or slides.

Well presented and nicely summerized

Excellent course for a beginner in salt water aquariums. I'm a somewhat experienced freshwater tank enthusiast, but thinking of taking the plunge into a salt water tank. This course is very helpful.

Very good course for beginners.
By Jeffrey Beck on 9/27/2017
So far, there is a lot of good information, but it's very general and basic. I'm still very confused about the specifics of setting up a system. For example, the instructor talks about a refugium as highly recommended optional equipment, but I'm still not sure what it actually IS, how it works, or how to set one up--hang on back, in a sump (what's a sump?) or something else. Hopefully, "everything will become illuminated" as the course goes on.
