The perfect book for anyone who loves being by the ocean searching for sea glass.

This wonderful book is the ultimate sea glass guide. It contains beautiful photos and illustrations throughout, showing clear examples of colours, shapes and types of sea glass that you might find washed in by the tide. Beside every example is information and a little bit of history about where your treasures may have come from.

What makes this guide completely unique is it also features your name on the cover and little tick boxes to document your collection.

The entire book is created by passionate sea glass hunting family ‘The Wilsons’, who live in Devon and spend every weekend scouring the sand for treasures to add to their collection. They wanted to create a book that they couldn’t find anywhere else for sale. A book that could be placed into the beach bag alongside the picnic and the collecting bags, a handy little guide with all the information they could possibly need in one place. Quick, concise explanations and clear photos to compare finds and even add their own notes. When they couldn’t find this on the market, they decided to make it themselves!

Mr. Blanchard walks the reader through the process of owning a saltwater aquarium setup from the perspective of a beginner. Starting with his first reef tank experience, and ending with a chapter on responsible reef-keeping, the reader is offered a vast amount of information that usually costs the aquarist quite a bit of time and money to obtain; the precise reason most hobbyists give up – within the first year – on owning a beautiful saltwater aquarium.

Not only is almost every aspect of owning your first saltwater fish tank in this book, but Zechariah explains it in an easy-to-understand conversational-tone. The reader is encouraged to make copies of tables provided in the book and use them for maintenance logs, testing logs, and aquarium cost calculations. There is an extensive amount of information about the cycling period, water parameters and testing, necessary equipment, picking healthy livestock, acclimation of livestock, coral coloration, and lots more information on saltwater aquariums.
