 Terrific starter book November 3, 2007

The writer did just as intended in this book. It is a starter book for someone starting a marine aquarium and it does that precisely without going into heavy details which would create a sense of doom for the new marine aquarium keeper. I spent years with my successful tank and I owe it largely to Michael who is also a sometimes writer for Marine Depot and other places.

I've maintained freshwater aquariums for about 7-8 years now and during the summer I thought I'd give saltwater a try. I was looking for a well regarded, easy to follow, and comprehensive book which would teach me the basics on how to get things started. After scouring all the different book reviews on Amazon I finally settled on The New Marine Aquarium. Its been about 4 months since I purchased the book. Today I have a 54 gallon marine tank set up with saltwater fish and inverts and they are doing very well. I purposely waited until now to write a review because I wanted to see the success rate of following the authors steps. With that said, I couldnt be more satisfied. This book is worth every penny. It covers all the basics and provides some very valuable suggestions. The best thing about it is that its a good read, unlike some aquarium books which can be like reading a medical journal this author provides helpful insights in an easy to understand language. Great illustrations and lots of valuable advice and tips are a plus too. Is this the be all/end all for your aquarium research? Of course not. I still did some research on the web but I always came back to this book for the final say on any questions I had. Highly recommended for those that are looking to start up in this hobby.

The title description of this book is way off. Please note - this is not the book you need if you really want to setup and maintain a marine aquarium. It is very basic and is worth looking at if you want to get a general idea about a maine aquarium. With that said, I really do like this little book. It is easy to find stuff in and does have a lot of useful information. Lots of good pictures and lots of good ideas, but really isn't all that you need to get going.
Very Comprehensive September 14, 2007

If you are looking for basic and simple book to teach about how to get started in the Marine hobby then this book is it. As the title implies this book will take you step by step on how to build your first marine aquarium.
It also has excellent advice on what steps to avoid. Whether this advice be from an execution standpoint or in your thinking. For instance I found advice like "Avoid trying to follow conflicting advice from multiple sources." and "Have a coherent plan of your own." invaluable.
This book is also short and concise. Not a whole unnecessary arrogant ramblings that you find in some books.
If you already have freshwater experience after reading this book you should be able to start your first fish only marine aquarium.
