Table top sized pictorial of aquarium animals

Replace your stupid books of lame art and boring family pictures. Put this on your coffee table and let guest compare pictures with your aquatic species.

Great start

If your are just starting off or of been with the salt water hobby for a white thsi is a great book to have.

Great Book for Doctors Lobby

This is a wonderful book for the lay person to read as they wait to see their doctor. The pictures are lovely. I gave it as a gift to my favorite dermatologist who happens to have a saltwater aquarium on display.

Very informative for the beginner

The book is very comprehensive on setup and maintenance but skimped a little on the technical information of the fishes, and didn't cover the extreme ranges of species available. Perfect for the beginner, but a little less advanced for the person looking to expand the hobby. All the basics are there, the photos are beautiful!

Good book for someone starting the hobby

This is a very good book for saltwater beginners and experts alike. The information on saltwater fish and invertebrates is very accurate and is essential to the success of a reef aquarium. The book also describes the steps of setting up a reef tank, along with maintenance and testing water parameters. I would highly recommend this book.
