Summary: The best I've seen
Review: Bob Fenner is one of the most helpful personalities in the industry. I bought his book only after finding his personalized help offered on [the internet]. He helped me avoid so many pitfalls with his website, I just had to buy his book. It's not all pictures like so many books, and it's up to date. I've saved myself a lot of money just using his book and following his advice. With the price of marine aquariums and fishes, saving even one fish buys this book for you. Check it out, or check him out on his site first. I'm sure you wont be disappointed.

Review: Here is an excellent book for beginning or advanced hobbyists alike. If you need information on tank setup, filtration, lighting, or reef fish information this is a must have for the reef hobbyists library. There is information about tank sizes, the various system components needed for success, heating and cooling, Wet/Dry filters, UGF, lighting types and spectrum, various additives, substrate, live rock and too much more to list in this text. Very detailed descriptions about fish and inverts including origin, habitat, selection, feeding, reproduction, and disease. There is even a section on fish to avoid. All of the information and incredible pictures in this book will make you come back to it for years to come.

Summary: Excellent book for beginner and expert alike!
Review: I had already been in the reef aquarium hobby for a year when I picked up this book. Most of the information I had already heard about, but alot of it was either new to me or covered in a new way. This book will give the straight talk about which fish and animals are "best" for the aquarium, and the author is not afraid to say what is wrong with keeping certain type of fish. A must for beginners, a decent refernce for all other aquarium keepers.
