2) The Reefs.org Pump Selection Guide is an in-depth pump selection guide:

This guide gives a detailed listing of the majority of the aquarium pumps used in the aquarium hobby and it is the most extensive aquarium pump selection guide found anywhere on the Internet. This guide is to be used in conjunction with the following article from the January 2003 issue of Advanced Aquarist:

by Sanjay Joshi, Ph.D., Nathan Paden & Shane Graber

A pump/plumbing system calculator written in MS Excel accompanies the above article:
Engineering the Plumbing System
Using the Advanced Aquarist article, the Excel spreadsheet, and the Pump Selection Guide in combination should make designing your system plumbing and pump selection easier than ever before.
3) The Reefs.org Reefkeeping Societies Guide has been provided to allow members to search for societies/clubs within the United States and other countries around the world:
http://www.reefs.org/society/
To use the guide, select the state or country that you'd like to find a reefkeeping society from the dropdown menu and the respective page will appear and give you a list of societies that meet your search criteria. Reefs.org is always encouraging people to get involved with clubs to gain knowledge and it's also a great way to meet new people.
We hope that you take advantage of these valuable resources.
Best regards,
Reefs.org Staff
