Summary: another great microcosum publication
Review: an exalent read for beginers! covers many important aspects of reef keeping in understandable languege.however, there are a couple problems. 1st, since its such a recent publication it has some confusing types and errors. they arnt terrible but i can see them confusing some beginers. 2nd, they have a couple places where they say somthing like "this is an important topic but its beyond this book to explain". still, its a great starting place for beginier marine aquarists.

Summary: Great way to select animals for your aquarium
Review: The best part of this book is the stocking guide section. It describes many, many common fishes & inverts that are found in the aquaria trade in great detail. Makes stocking a tank very easy. They're very environmentally aware without being preachy about it. For instance, they will point out which fishes should be tank bred and why. Beautiful photography!

Summary: Great Book for Starting a Reef
Review: This is a beautiful book. There are lots of great pictures. The book is an excellent resource for those who are starting a reef tank. There are thorough and informative chapters on issues such as set-up, live rock, lighting, fitration, feeding, etc. The sections on selection & care of corals, other invertebrates, fishes, and algae are excellent. Issues of care, compatibility and conservation are addressed for all species. I did notice a couple of incorrect pictures, but this is a very minor problem. Overall, this is an excellent beginner/intermediate book by a pair of recognized and respected authorities in the field. Their superb 4-volume series is beyond the budget of most at a per-volume list price of around $90. Most of what the average new reefer needs is here in this book. It is an excellent value for the price.
