If you have some basic high school chemistry then that's about all you need to understand this book. It gives the basic principles of what's going on in your marine aquarium - covering, amongst other subjects, the nitrogen cycle, maintaining calcium levels, pH and alkalinity.
If you want to know a bit more about the 'whys' to help understand how to maintain the balance then this book is a great helper and excellent value.

This book is amazing value. Its a short chemistry lesson but not too complicated. If you know that Marine fish live in salt-water and what pH is you'll be fine. If you want to keep marine fish you will be in a much better position if you read and undertand this book before you buy. Plus it has the added bonus of a good number of high quality picutres and diagrams.

Format:Paperback
This is a small book covering a very big subject in a fair amount of detail. What it cuts out is the gentle learning curve and it gets straight down to business. That's great but makes the book initially quite intimidating, especially if you pick it up and start from the middle!
Don't let it put you off though, stick the book next to the loo and read a few paragraphs each day - even repeating the same ones - until it all sinks in and it will significantly enhance your understanding.

A "must" for the home aquarist
This is a great book for the home aquarist, which should not feel threatned by the title: there's no need for a degree in chemistry to understand the contents. Read more
