since i need a title...
I have to say I liked this book as a jumping off point, however the info needs to be supplemented if you are serious about aquaria (defined as any intention of possibly hosting any aquatic life). Several pictures are mislabeled (i.e. guppies on pg. 38). I also would NOT add any fish, no matter how hardy, to an aquarium that has only cycled 48 hrs.Regardless of these minor blunders, I think it's still a very charming little book. Definitely give this one to kids to look at, but before plunging into the aquarium world, read more on your own.

Product Description

"Reef Aquarium Success - Volume 1: Learn How To Maintain A Beautiful Mini-Ocean Environment Within Your Tank" is Volume 1 of the original electronic book "Reef Keeping Basics - Successful Reef Management". To assist in the marketing and promotion of that original book, the author - Eric V. Van Der Hope, decided to publish a paperback version of the book. Also, because the original electonic book comprised over 700 pages & over 300 colorful images, it wasn't cost effective to produce as a single printed book. Thus, "Reef Aquarium Success - Volume 1" has become part 1 of an extremely informative and educational resource.

Do You Want To Maintain A Beautiful Pristine Reef Environment Successfully, While Maintaining Proper Conditions For The Health of Your Tropical Fish, Invertebrates and Corals?

- Learn what the most important types of testing are at setup, how often it should be done, and what the parameters should be.

- There are several types of lighting arrangements you must choose from. Deciding what type of lighting is suitable for your tank will have a direct link to the survival of your reef environment.

Simply does not translate from digital to print media.
The book really does have a lot of good information layed out in a very easy to digest question and answer format. So it truly is a shame that the print quality of this book makes it look like it was done on a home inkjet printer set to draft mode. The simple truth here is that the pictures actually hurt my eyes to look at. They seem fuzzy and "off". If I had a Kindle, this would be a fantastic read. The print version is absolutely not worth the price. They really shoudln't even bother making the rest of this series in print form.
-Get it for your Kindle, DO NOT buy the paperback.

Great Beginners Book!
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone thinking about setting up their first marine tank.Well written and laid out, this book goes over the basics to starting a reef tank and even includes some info about more advanced things.My personal fave is the fact they included a chapter on pests and how to get rid of them... including mantis shrimp, which I have yet to see in a book like this.

Its hardcover and full of pages of colorful pictures and diagrams, and is a pleasure to read from cover to cover.

Please check out my other reviews for beginning marine aquariums at: [...]

informative and enjoyable
Mr. Hunt's book is a great reference and an enjoyable read.Book is full of accurate helpful information, fantastic photography, and species identification.It is well suited to "reefers" starting out for the first time; and also contains sufficient information to keep the interest of those experienced in the hobby.

Ten times better than I expected
I think this book is a great guide to starting/maintaining a marine reef aquarium. The information and pictures are new and up to date. I couldn't have asked for more.

great for beginners
I have looked through several books at the bookstore before buying this one. It is easy to read and as the author states a practical guide for keeping a reef aquarium. I would say this is more for beginners not those of you with experience. For my interests, he has discussed every issue about starting and keeping an aquarium. Even went over almost all the fish I was interested in. Beautiful pictures too.
Anyway, well worth it for me.

Current -- but a bit shallow
Worth the purchase price -- but by no means the only book on the subject you need in your library.If you're new to the hobby -- this book is current and provides an excellent reference.If you have some experience, this book won't add much to your knowledge base. ... Read more

Product Description
This is the 4th Revised Edition 2008. All names have been updated, mistakes of previous editions corrected, also about 30 extra pages complete this reference work.

Originally, only one volume was planned.
You, dear reader, have decided otherwise. The comments received were so numerous and so clearly in favor of a second volume that the authors had to grant the readers' wish. The result is present here.
This volume turned out more extensive than the first.With over 850 species of fish and over 150 aquatic plants included in this second volume, that is more than an aquarist could ever keep in his life, but interests are very variable and everyone's preference is not equal.
Volume 2 of the Aquarium Atlas purposely does not go further into sophisticated and highly specialized hardware but rather into the breadth of the hobby. This allows us to give you more information on additional fishes and plants. 1248 pages, soft cover. ... Read more
