More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Starting a marine aquarium is a fairly complex undertaking for ambitious aquarium hobbyists. The author discusses many aspects of marine aquarium maintenance and presents clear instructions on creating the correct water chemistry and environment in which saltwater animals can flourish. Barron's extensive line of "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" advices current and soon-to-be pet owners on the care of dogs and cats of virtually all recognized breeds, as well as on birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, and even exotic creatures like tarantulas and sugar gliders. The information in each book is authoritative but the language is non-technical and easy for every pet owner to understand. Every title in this series is individually written from first page to last by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. All "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" are filled with high-quality colour photos and instructive line art.

Format:Paperback
Quite a good book for the beginner. I refer to it still after setting up my tank successfully and my fish are thriving. The book is quick and to the point giving you concise information for quick decision and reference. It is not an in-depth reference for all marine setups. The writer seems to know his stuff and tells you some things that other books and aquarists will tell you are wrong but i have had no probs. I have bought other books with a lot more information in but this is just as good for the beginner or if you want to know the pitfalls associated with keeping marine fish before spending all your money and finding out its not for you.

You can find lots of technical information. Anything by him is worth buying and reading -- although let me say that this little book is fantastic. I've recommended to several fish stores that they start including this work with their "starter" set ups. I learned alot and have set two tanks up with the directions. I have re-read a couple of times for info that I needed down the line and didn't understand at the time. Great book!

This book is ideal for absolute beginners, especially if you have no previous experience keeping fish in an aquarium. For those who have had previous successful experience in keeping freshwater tropicals then I would recommend on buying something else.
