Customer Reviews

Dont buy it , waste of money
this book was worthless, I am going to try to return it. I was not at all happy, very outdated information and some info I found to be quite incorrect. :(

DO NOT BUY!!!
This book is outdated. About all it has of any value is pretty pictures. There are much better books for the beginner out there. I found this out the hard way.

Just a one more book about soltwater aquarium
If you are looking for a complete guide, don't pike up this one. I found it good for first time reader, who doesn't know a thing about reef tank, but it doesn't realy help to set up you own.
