5Review of "Health and Feeding Handbook"  Mar 09, 2008 By Paul G. Carpenter "Dr. Paul Carpenter"
I have been a tank keeper for twenty years and have read every book written on the subject. This new book by Bob Goeman's is by far the the most comprehensive, up to date,accurate, well written, and organized book to have been published in several years. The chapters on feeding and maintaing the health of the corals and fish are outstanding but there is so much other information in the book about the latest techniques of maintaining salt water aquariums. The book's title could have been "Everything You Need To Know To Maintain a Spectacular Marine Aquarium". There are at least a hundred beautiful photos and the information is cutting edge. Your tank can only benefit by your reading of this book!. It should be part of every "Reefers" library.

5Truly excellent  May 16, 2008 By Scubagirl
I've successfully kept tropical marine aquariums in all sizes and shapes for almost thirty years - I started with a baby lionfish in a then-fashionable perspex cube and my last one was a ten-feet long, 240-gallons beautiful monster of a tank housing a whole complex reef community. I think I can safely say that Bob Goeman's new book is an exceptionally complete, well-written, easily understandable, beautifully illustrated guide to the do's and dont's of reef keeping which should not go missing from any serious marine aquarist bookshelf. I wish something of this scope had been available in the past - it would have saved me quite a few heartbreaking disasters!

5Finally, a book with answers and understanding  Dec 18, 2008 By Jamie V. "Wordseeker"
Dealing with the dietary requirements of marine organisms has long been an issue and this book sets some ground rules one can build upon. The connection between good nutrition and disease has been long know, but no book has discussed these two intertwined themes to this extent before. Of course, even with the best diets one may be able to provide, diesease and parasites will always be present. Understanding and identifying diseases and parasites, as well as their weaknesses and possible treatments, lies at the crux of maintaining a healthy aquarium. This book discusses all the currently known diseases and offers remedies and, most importantly, how to avoid bringing these organisms into our tanks.

A Marine Bibel that should be in any serious aquarists library.

5Excellent read even for beginners!  May 12, 2010 By Lynn
I am just about to start up a saltwater system after years of having freshwater and I decided to do my research first. This book is definitely one to read especially for the beginners! It has loads of information on proper feeding and care of your saltwater fish. The great thing is it has loads of information on how to treat various diseases and what is more effective than others. I definitely have the confidence in caring for my upcoming fish after reading this one! I think everyone who has a saltwater system should own this!

5Covers all the basics of health and feeling challenges to keep a home aquarium active and interesting  Sep 11, 2008 By Midwest Book Review
Beginners and experts alike will find this 'missing manual' covers all the basics of health and feeling challenges to keep a home aquarium active and interesting. From buying and acclimating new fish to keeping fishes healthy, understanding early warning signs of system problems, and treating common diseases, over 100 color photos accompany a fine survey.
