This book is a great resource & I would recommend it to anyone considering a salt water aquarium. Simplified so many things – great recommendations too. The stores want to sell you supplies, fish and other creatures which might or might not be the best for your environment. Read this when you are beginning and you will save $$$$ and your pets.
Very thorough and uncomplicated overview of how to set up and maintain a marine aquarium. i would have made alot of serious and pretty dumb mistakes without it.
very informational helped me make a decision that salt water wasn’t for me saved me a buunncchh of money i recommend for any one who thinks they want a salt water aquarium takes the guessing out of it
This book is as the title describes. It provides good information for someone who is starting an aquarium and does not know anything. It is simple and a good place to start. If you know a good deal about aquariums and aquatic systems already this book is probably too simple.
This is a good book for those who are just starting out with a new salt water tank, as well as for those who have a well established tank. The best part about the book is that you don’t have to read it cover to cover–you can find a subject/topic that you are interested in (or an area that you may be having questions or problems with) and skip right to that part of the book!
