EDUCATION
Proper knowledge is the key to success, especially in dealing with something as
complex as an advanced saltwater environment. The fundamental basics are often misinterpreted
or misunderstood, which can lead to failure despite the caregiver’s best intentions. We here
at MSM, in an attempt to help bridge the gap between factual evidence, myths, theory, and
rhetoric, now offer weekly science classes discussing not only the basic but the complex
principals in keeping a beautiful saltwater aquarium. The classes are designed with you in
mind, allowing us to help you keep the sanity in serenity, helping you bring the best out in
this wonderful hobby. Please come join us and bring your questions; we have the answers, and
if we don’t we will find them.
