    EXCELLENT book for beginners!
  

*by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2015*

I have just set up a 45 gallon aquarium, and I followed this book as I went along - I now have a beautiful aquarium, with healthy fish!  I have tried the aquarium hobby in the past, but never successful as this this.  If you are a beginner, this is the book to buy.  Here's why: very clear instructions and explanations, without over-doing the science speech, and yet remains comprehensive.  There are beautiful full color photos with each step of the set-up.  For one example, I bought a piece of bogwood from a local fish dealer, they did not tell me to soak the wood first.  But I followed the pictures and instructions in this book, and I ended up with a beautiful piece of bogwood/aquascape that did not turn my aquarium water brown.  Beautiful!  I do have other books for beginning a tropical aquarium, but this is the one I only really needed.  I absolutely love the photos of each step.  The author explains something, and there's a full color photo to illustrate it.  I'm a visual learner so this was perfect for me.If you want to learn about plants, the author goes into great detail needed to plant a beautiful aquarium, and keep the plants healthy.  There are many photos and information of plants you can add to your aquarium.The author describes (in easy to read) step-by-step how to set up the aquarium, and also how to maintain it, keeping it beautiful for your fish and plants.Again, those lovely photos each step of the way!This is not a fish reference guide, although the book does give detailed information on what fish to buy first, second, and third.  More gorgeous photos.In my opinion, this is the book to buy if you are setting up a new tropical aquarium.In short - the book is easy to read, comphrensive, with beautiful photos each step of the way.  Perfect!

    Great book! Perfect for the beginner.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2011*

After a ten year break I decided to get back into aquarium keeping. I knew the basics but I was a little rusty on all the details. This book was a perfect refresher course on all of the intricacies of keeping a tropical aquarium - and I learnt a ton of new stuff too. I am setting up a 10 gallon quarantine tank (in my office) and a 29 gallon display tank (in the living room). I have followed this book page by page and a few weeks later my tanks are ready to accept fish - yes, I'm going shopping this weekend!The author covers every aspect of setting up a new tank. Filters, lighting, substrate, food, you name it - it's all here. The explanation about the critical subject of water chemistry is the best I've read anywhere. There's also a ton of info about plants if you want to get into that side of things. He then goes on to recommend the most appropriate kinds of fish for each stage in the development of your new aquarium - all great information from someone who clearly knows what he's talking about.The book itself is full color, with lots of graphs and charts to hold your interest. The photographs are excellent.So, all in all, a great reference for the beginner. Highly recommended. Glad I bought it.[And, no, I'm not the author's close friend or business associate!]

    good book
  

*by C***C on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014*

I thought this was a good book.  It cuts to the chase without too much philosophy.  I thought it was a little hasty to get the fish in the tank the first week but apparently it works.  I have not had such luck.  It covers a little of everything you need to know especially as a beginner; water, cycling, fish, plants, maintenance, etc.  A good book for beginners or for a refresher.
