 A Breath of Fresh O2 in the World of H2O! Jun 23, 2010
By Anne D.
"where's the next chapter!?!"
This book is really a breath of fresh air in an industry of VERY stifling books! While not a colorful book, this is well written in a descriptive and easy way that renders it far more enjoyable and informative than half the other books that have first rate photos and "appear" to contain more information. I was looking for a book that would cover everything from inception to enjoyment with starting a salt water aquarium, and this book fit the bill. It also includes many up-to-date aquarium methods that other "guides" such as the Dummy's book don't offer, such as creating a refugium in the place of bio balls. For those of you who might have thought you were a "Dummy" in this hobby, please decide to be an "Idiot" instead!

Idiot's Guide for Saltwater Aquariums Jul 31, 2011

I purchased at least 4 other books before i found this one. This one goes over all the details enough to get started. I still refer to it at least bi-weekly.

Certainly the author is not a dummy! Sep 22, 2010
By Jim in Minneapolis
Have read the entire book, some parts several times. Still in the planning stages of an aquarium. Per his advice, I've visited some local stores; there ARE definitely differences in quality among stores! Fortunately, the Twin Cities have some stores totally dedicated to marine aquaria. AND, as a result, some of his suggestions are contradicted by the locals: eg, filter socks don't seem to be essential in front of a protein skimmer; all they add is maintenance headaches. I like the fact that specific brands are mentioned. It's a great intro, and, no doubt due to length restrictions, some parts are glossed over. But, it's a compelling intro. I'm glad I got it. Just don't rely on it exclusively.

 Not really what I exepcted. Apr 14, 2011
By ShadoeFox
I was honestly expecting an easy to digest, how to book fitting for the beginner with advanced information later. Instead it's a tall drink of water that almost completely scared me away from the hobby.
