In setting up my first saltwater aquarium, I was looking for a more in depth book. I was rather disappointed as all the information contained within, I had already read about with simple online searches and pamphlets from the pet store. It does have a comprehensive fish guide which is 3/4 of the book if you are interested in finding out what fish will live well together.
This book is the best I’ve found regarding saltwater aquariums. I think it’s great not just for beginners but also for people like me who have started a tank some time ago and can’t get the fish to last very long. It included just about everything I needed to know to get started but was very easy to read as it sticks to the basics without overloading you with a bunch of technical marine biology talk like some of the other books I’ve seen. Great in depth analysis of the types of saltwater fish. The book’s information on water temperature was something I had never heard before and that alone was worth the price in my case. As they say in the book some of their ideas definitely go against what you normally hear in pet stores and other books so just keep that in mind. But I used to not be able to keep fish like Tangs alive in my tank for any length of time until I tried some of their new ideas. My tank is now in great shape after reading this, great book!
