5 comments about The New Saltwater Aquarium Handbook (New Pet Handbooks).

1. This is an excellent book for those interested in starting a marine aquarium. I had several questions about the hobby, and it managed to answer all of them. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to describing the various families of fish. It gives a good idea on how difficult each specimen is to care for. However, very few of the descriptions had any pictures of the fish. This book would probably not be useful for those who already have a working aquarium.



2. Good intro. Helpful hints on setting up the aquarium for the first time. Could use more fish pictures and explanation of various types.



3. My local marine fish dealer recommended this book when I first began questioning him about saltwater aquariums. As a beginner, I felt like it cleared up a lot of questions I had about the hobby and also provided a lot of information I can use down the road (disease, etc.) As a bonus, I was totally glued to the book until I finished it. The pictures, diagrams, and text really flow well together and keep you interested. I have read several other books about the hobby but always refer back to this one.



4. I have just started a saltwater aquarium and checked out a lot of books on the subject. The New Saltwater Aquarium Handbook is definitely the best. Under $10, it offers simple, straight forward detail on setting up the tank, getting fish, and trouble shooting problems.



5. This book is one of the best books for the saltwater enthusiast. It provides great information on the aquarium and filtration as well as water quality, nutrition and disease. It has many great pictures and provides a great start on understanding the marine aquarium. As a pet shop owner this is the one book I always recommend for the first time marine fish keeper.

1. a great book with good information my only complaint would be that it does not cover a wide variety of species.



2. This book is really great for the person that loves a big book with wonderful color pictures. It's one of those books you can just sit down for hours and look at all the beautiful pictures and detailed information of each tropical fish listed. There's also a detailed illustrated guide on how to set up a home aquarium and a list of common illness and treatments for sick fishes. I highly recommend this book for any aquarium enthusiast!

1. This book is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Perfect condition and rapid delivery. Excellent service.



2. This book is extremely comprehensive and informative. It covers all of the basics and gives great advice about water gardens. James Allison provides a wide varitey of examples for people of all skill levels. I will be building a water garden this summer, and this book has greatly aided me in planning my project.

1. This is a nice looking book with lots of great pictures. Thats about where the positives end. There is a lot of misinformation in this book. The information seems to be from a much earlier edition. Advice on the setup of a marine aquarium is based on info from the 70s. Some of the information about the fish is completely false. For a beginning aquarium hobbyist, this is not a good choice, it will lead you astray.
