An excellent book especially for first time salt water marine tank owners. Get the book before you get the tank and it will save you a lot of hassle setting up. I've also found it useful as a reference manual to dip back into. It's got a good section about the types of animal and plant you should look for in a new tank whilst you are making the obvious newbie mistakes. All-in-all it's well worth the money and I'd have to recommend it.
Bought this for the Mrs as she has never kept fish of any kind and purchased a tank for marine. Simple step by step guide to setting up and running a marine aquarium.

Finally succumbing to 'pester power' I decided to set up my first marine tank. Although I have kept tropical tanks for years this was my first foray into salt and I was nervous having heard repeatedly how hard it was. Starting my research I figured the 'for dummies' book was probably about my level! I can honestly say this book is a brilliant introduction to marine aquariums, it is simple basic english with no jargon or headbending abbreviations. It talks you through what equipment you will need and why, and the differences between them. It guides you through the various cycles of the tank and the chemical tests you will need to preform. I felt more confident starting my tank having read this and really do recommend it to anyone who wishes to take up this hobby, it's a great start to your research.Read full review
