A book for those curious about starting a marine aquarium.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an excellent book for those interested in starting a marine aquarium. I had several questions about the hobby, and it managed to answer all of them. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to describing the various families of fish. It gives a good idea on how difficult each specimen is to care for. However, very few of the descriptions had any pictures of the fish. This book would probably not be useful for those who already have a working aquarium.
Great book, especially for the price!

My local marine fish dealer recommended this book when I first began questioning him about saltwater aquariums. As a beginner, I felt like it cleared up a lot of questions I had about the hobby and also provided a lot of information I can use down the road (disease, etc.) As a bonus, I was totally glued to the book until I finished it. The pictures, diagrams, and text really flow well together and keep you interested. I have read several other books about the hobby but always refer back to this one.
Great book for starting your first saltwater aquarium

I have just started a saltwater aquarium and checked out a lot of books on the subject. The New Saltwater Aquarium Handbook is definitely the best. Under $10, it offers simple, straight forward detail on setting up the tank, getting fish, and trouble shooting problems.
This is the best beginning saltwater book for the price!

This book is one of the best books for the saltwater enthusiast. It provides great information on the aquarium and filtration as well as water quality, nutrition and disease. It has many great pictures and provides a great start on understanding the marine aquarium. As a pet shop owner this is the one book I always recommend for the first time marine fish keeper.
