Salt Water Info

Very informative on beginning a new salt water tank. Information on what equiptment needed to provide the type of tank I wanted. Different habitat need different water and light conditions. Very helpful.

Just right

A small book cramed with info. Tells the beginner everything they need to know.

Good info, concise, a must-read for saltwater newbies and experts

This book goes through everything step by step, without getting getting too technical about the chemistry. Do you ever wonder why your shrimp needs iodine added? Do you know what the dentrification cycle is and why its important? Now you can learn it all. This book really DOES cover everything you need to know about water and what you need to do to keep it healthy for your fish and your inverts. Its under 100 pages, so you can read through it in a day or two, no problem. Really explains everything you need to know. Even for experts, this book is REALLY helpful because it's written so plainly and covers so much. You'll be amazed at what you've forgotten when you read through this.

great book for learing about water chemisty

iv eleaned lots from this book and recommed it to anyone starting up with a saltwater aquarium. there is so much more to just adding salt water and fishies.

Excellent.....

This is a great book if you're looking to a deeper understanding on the chemical and biochemical processes that take place within your marine aquarium, beyond just knowing how to test you water for the different pollutants. From it's first pages, where it describes the basic differences between satwater and freshwater fish in simple but adequate terms, this book caught my attention. I definitely recommend it!
