This is a great book and perhaps the best one I have read for a newbie who wants to set up a marine aquarium


5 out of 5 stars Essential Starter Book for Marine Aquarium   November 5, 2007

I would recommend this to anyone interested in starting a marine aquarium. The author provides a to the point and practical guide to setting up your first or next tank. You do not need a biology degree to enjoy it.


4 out of 5 stars Terrific starter book   November 3, 2007

The writer did just as intended in this book. It is a starter book for someone starting a marine aquarium and it does that precisely without going into heavy details which would create a sense of doom for the new marine aquarium keeper. I spent years with my successful tank and I owe it largely to Michael who is also a sometimes writer for Marine Depot and other places.


5 out of 5 stars Great start up book   October 26, 2007

I've maintained freshwater aquariums for about 7-8 years now and during the summer I thought I'd give saltwater a try. I was looking for a well regarded, easy to follow, and comprehensive book which would teach me the basics on how to get things started. After scouring all the different book reviews on Amazon I finally settled on The New Marine Aquarium. Its been about 4 months since I purchased the book. Today I have a 54 gallon marine tank set up with saltwater fish and inverts and they are doing very well. I purposely waited until now to write a review because I wanted to see the success rate of following the authors steps. With that said, I couldnt be more satisfied. This book is worth every penny. It covers all the basics and provides some very valuable suggestions. The best thing about it is that its a good read, unlike some aquarium books which can be like reading a medical journal this author provides helpful insights in an easy to understand language. Great illustrations and lots of valuable advice and tips are a plus too. Is this the be all/end all for your aquarium research? Of course not. I still did some research on the web but I always came back to this book for the final say on any questions I had. Highly recommended for those that are looking to start up in this hobby.
