Customer reviews for 'The New Marine Aquarium: Step-By-Step Setup & Stocking Guide'

Great for beginners

It is a great book for beginners. It is not an in-depth information material but enough to give you fundamentals and get you started. It is also easy to read and well organized. The author has very solid credentials.

This book is so well written and includes everything you need to know in detail, yet remains a very pleasent and easy read. This book is great to both those new to salt water as well as those with exsiting tank,"

Awesome book for first Marine Fish tank

If you've ever considered buying a saltwater fishtank - this is " THE BOOK " to read first. It covers all the basics you need for a Saltwater Fish tank with Live Rock and Fish.

This book gives a complete soup to nuts blueprint of the basics needed - equiptment needed - and even an option to get started on a smaller scale if need be - although the ideal minimum size would be a 40 gallon for Saltwater Tank - there is a blueprint for a 15 or 20 gallon tank - along with suggestions to get started on a restricted budget.

This book is a great reference book - but doesn't attempt to cover more advanced topics such as corals / refugium tanks ( I wish this would have been included ). I'd highly recommend this book as a first read compared to the other 4 books I've read. After reading this book - I'd suggest joining an online community like Reef Central or one of many other online saltwater forums. These sites can fill in the gaps for any questions taht may arise while getting started - or more advanced issues you may experience while upkeeping your tank.
