Synopsis
Here is a book that will be appreciated not only by beginners but also by even highly experienced marine aquarists. The reason that it will appeal to both groups is this: it concentrates on doing things the simple way. Author Richard F Stratton has earned the appreciation and thanks of all aquarists who've been thinking about setting up a beautiful mini-reef tank of their own but who've been holding off because of what they've heard about how complicated an undertaking that is. Armed with the information provided by the author in his informative, interesting, and easy-to-read text, they'll be well on their way to enjoying their own mini-reef tanks, the immensely popular new marine aquarium hobby specialty. With this valuable book in hand, hobbyists of every level of experience can be well on the way to being entranced by the actions and beauty of a mini-reef's clams and crabs, corals and sponges, anemones and sea urchins, worms and starfish, shrimps and snails - all of which are shown in the full-colour photos that illustrate the book throughout, accompanied by photos of useful mini-reef equipment and supplies.
And of course the fish are covered also, and in a very useful way: the author makes specific, easy-to-follow recommendations in the form of a list of fishes that will be compatible with the invertebrates in the tank while sacrificing nothing in the way of good looks.
