Well Written – I learned a lot
I’m an avid scuba diver and have wanted, for years, to bring that experience into my home. This book is well organized, detailed enough and written in understandable terms.

A great start
This book helped me get back into the hobby after a 15 year hiatus. I lot has changed, but the author gives just the right amount of information for a newbie. Enough to be knowledgeable and curious, but not so much to be overwhelming. He also includes a little humor to make the read more entertaining. Definitely worth the purchase.

First of all itâs a great book to learn all about aquariums in general, not just salt water. The author is really good at not taking it over top with technical jargon.I was getting overwhelmed trying to learn with all the contradictions you read on the web forumâs. But after reading this book. I got my nano marine tank up and running within 2 weeks. And yes it cycled. I already have corals and a few fish as well. All doing fine.Explains every aspect clearly and simply.
Amazon Customer –
I’ve been keeping marine fish for a while now but have been struggling with some aspects so thought I’d get this book to pick up some tips. It’s really well written and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s planning to start marine fish keeping or even for those who have been in it a while but would like to refresh some points or for reference.
