A good reference but not a how-to.
I enjoyed this book and it is beautifully put together. However, it lacked a lot of detail when it came down to building the system. Yes - there were a lot of detailed diagrams but that was for one rudimentary system and for the plumbing only. It didn't really discuss alot when it came to chioces of fish communities, light systems, setups, etc. What it does do it offer a lot of information but you will have to do quite a bit more research to make an informed choice. I highly suggest getting Palletta's "New Marine Aquarium" book first, this one second.

One of the BEST books I've bought!
I have spent many hours reading about the marine aquarium, I've just had one for about 3 years now. If I'd of had this book when I started I may not have lost some fish during that first year. I bought the new updated version and I must say I haven't really seen much difference in this volume then the first one I have spent many hours reading. I will probably set this one aside and keep it, my old one was in paperback version and you can tell it's been read a lot!
