Superlative guide for beginners. Worth every cent.
As someone that has always admired marine aquariums I recently found myself in the market for one.Before starting, I read this guide and it quickly enabled me to get up to speed and intelligently plan my new aquarium.I have read a few books on marine aquariums and while a few of them have the sheer volume of info, this one cuts through all of the fluff to deliver the best info for beginners to understand what is involved in setting up an aquarium and quickly help them avoid the most costly and common mistakes that beginners make.It might sound simple but topics like where not to put your aquarium (while obvious for pros, is invaluable for us newbies).Aquarium book authors tend to be a bit verbose on this subject to impress the reader with their knowledge, rather than to help beginners avoid mistakes. This book is the exception to this rule.If you buy this book it will help you improve your probability of success...

Well presented, comprehensive information.
Having had freshwater aquaria in the past (at one time I had eight), I've been toying with the idea of going marine. Anyone trying to make this same decision will be well served with this book. It can give a beginner the confidence needed to get started, plus later serve as a handy reference for all phases of care and maintenance.It's obvious that years of personal, hands-on experience with saltwater aquaria is behind this book. The info is first-rate. And great photos! Just looking at them will make you want to go out and buy a tank--but wait--you need to get all the facts by reading this book first. It contains far more than the low price would indicate.

A Wealth of Information!
I've had both saltwater and freshwater aquariums before, but had to give them up when I moved. Now I'm ready to try again and want to go with a nice saltwater (marine) aquarium. I wish I had this information before I did my last marine aquarium; it would have saved a lot of dead fish and frustration. Saltwater can be a real trick, but for me personally I find it the most rewarding. The author goes over the numerous setups you can get, including (and important) where in the house to put it, as well as fish that would be a good choice for you. As I found out the hard way before, not all fish are compatible with each other, and you can't always trust the salesperson at the fish store to know. He also explains the different kinds of tanks, like fish only, fish only with live rock and reef tanks. I always thought reef tanks were only for the professinals, but that is what I may try now after reading this. If you want a book that is a real wealth of information, then get this one BEFORE you...

Product Description

NEW BEST SELLER

Author and official aquarium nut, David Chipperfield has had nearly a decade of experience in the fine art of owning, planning and caring for marine aquariums but he was once in your position too - filled with the enthusiasm of wanting to own a salt water aquarium but not having the experience that leads to owning the vibrant, colorful aquarium that all aquarists dream about.

This is book is written so that, even if you're a beginner, you can easily create a crystal clear, lively salt water aquarium filled with healthy fish and healthy coral.
When we asked Chipperfield to summarise what aquarium owners would find in the book, he told us:

"Sadly many marine aquarium owners give up on their dream after their fish become ill and die, their fish do not 'get along' together, one or more fish make a meal out of the rest of their tank or they make one of the other fatal (for the fish) mistakes that most aquarium owners fall prey to when they first buy their tank.
"It took me many years of experience and pain to learn the secrets that would ultimately lead me to being able to create incredible aquariums with remarkable ease.

"This book is what I wish I could have had when I was starting out, someone to give me the secrets of a successful aquarium and tell me exactly what I needed to know about fish, with clear step by step instructions on setting up my aquarium, keeping them healthy, choosing the right equipment, backup plans, what to watch out for when buying fish and much, much more...

David Chipperfield estimates that not understanding just a few of the tips in this book cost him over $3,210 and hundreds of wasted hours and fish in trial and error early on in his marine hobby.

This book contains information that comes from years and years of hands on experience - including step-by-step answers to those tricky questions that you just can't seem to find the answer for.
Some of the sections you can find in this book are:

• Rules for a Successful Aquarium
• Planning and Choosing Parts
• Choosing Technology and Equipment
• Filters and Filtration Methods
• Setting Up Your Aquarium
• Choosing Your Fish
• Saltwater Fish Compatibility
• Maintaining Your Aquarium
• Aquarium Troubleshooting

Beware of some of the books out there that promise you a stunning aquarium with little or no work. One of the mistakes of an aquarium novice is assuming that there will be little or no work involved. Without proper planning and use of the correct techniques you could literally lose all of your fish again and again. Aquariums involve consistent work and preparation but with knowledge of the right aquarium time saving techniques you can minimize your overall maintenance time.

Just a few of the techniques covered in the book are:

• How the size of your tank affects maintenance, chemistry and the health of your fish
• Should you choose a glass or acrylic aquarium?
• What you have to do to wood before you put it in your tank to ensure that it doesn’t affect your fish
• Techniques to encourage plant growth in your aquarium
• What to avoid buying from your aquarium store that will leave you feeling shortchanged and unhappy
• The technique to use more than one heater that will help stop your fish from dying
• Why incandescent lights are insufficient for use in your aquarium
• How choosing the right substrate can bring out colours in your aquarium to make it even more beautiful
• Where to definitely NOT put your aquarium
• Safety tips you must know about handling your aquarium
• A clear guide to always choosing healthy fish

If you are looking for just one book with the tips you need to get your marine aquarium hobby stepped up to the next level then this could be the book for you.

Excellent testers
The test kit is very easy to use. The instructions are easy to follow. The only thing that you have to watch is when you are mixing the chemicals and the water in the test tube. If you leave the test tube upside down for a period of time, it will start leaking. If you do it quickly, there are no issues what-so-ever. The tests are accurate. I've used these tests when I initially set up my tanks and before I perform maintenance (change the water). I use this tester for both my reef tank and my seahorse tank. Shop around though. As the other reviewer said, some pet stores have this priced at $40. I've seen them as high as $45.

Good Primer. The Only Marine Tank Book You Need
I first want to contradict some of the other reviews on this page. This is a great book for the beginner. I used it and followed it to the T same goes for two of my friends. We have all had successful and healthy tanks for well over a year. This book will touch all the basics. Once you learn those you will then know the terminology and concepts and be able to find any other information you need for free, on the web. It is also very previlent in the marine fish hobby to learn conflicting information. Much of the care of fish really requires observation what one person claims solves the problem may not be the best for another with a different setup and different fish. Keep this in mind when you do run into so said "contradictions" that other reviewers have claimed to exist.The book does talk about live rock, it also talks about undergravel filters being obsolete. Some of the reviewers seem to interpret being concise as not being informative. The author even states...

An Excellent Guide to Starting a Marine Aquarium
I had already looked at many marine aquarium books before I found this one. I already have a freshwater tank, but really had no idea how to go about setting up a saltwater tank. I mean, I didn't know anything!This book misses nothing. Other books may start off well, but tend to get skimpy on the things you really need to know and then focus too much on things that, at the moment, you don't need to know, such as page after page on various species of fish. That's important, but not particulary helpful if you don't know what you are doing.The first part of the book goes into tank selection & setup. It goes over among other things, protein skimmers, power filters, & powerheads along with the other more rudimentary stuff such as heater, thermometer, etc. It goes into instructions on how to correctly mix the salt water and put in the substrate. After that, a considerable amount of time is spent discussing live rock, what it is, how to choose it, how to take care of...

THE book for the beginner & experienced alike
I've been keeping marine tanks with very mixed results off and on for the past thirty years. When I started out in the hobby and didn't know any better I was expert in quickly killing off all of the gorgeous occupants of my tank. "Live rock, ah you don't need it," said most of the "knowledgeable" local fish stores. Also protein skimmers were more of an afterthought - "after you've had your tank up a while and the sludge really starts to build then you may want one," they said. "Having problems," they'd ask. "You need to get a U/V sterilizer, or a cooler," or something else, though these are all potentially useful they weren't the reason that my tanks weren't surviving. Well, it's interesting to look back and see how quickly technology and common knowledge about how to successfully start and maintain a thriving marine tank (reef or fish) have evolved. Through the years I've looked at the top selling marine aquarium books that were available - some have been good at some things...

Outstanding book for the beginner marine fishkeeper
This is a well-done book providing plenty of information about marine aquarium setup and maintenance. My mother's a librarian so I've read several books on this subject all of which seemed too trivial and uninformative or written for the professional reef tank hobbyist but this book seemed like the perfect fit for me. The author takes the reader step-by-step through the process of identifying and purchasing the necessary equipment to seting up the tank and equipment to choosing and introducing fish to the tank and of course, maintaining the aquarium. The book is very informative and should bolster confidence in a beginner looking to setup a small to midsize tank. The author pariticularly covers filtration methodologies very well focusing primarily on the highly regarded "Berlin" method. A must have for beginners and intermediate fishkeepers looking to setup a marine tank. I would recommend a more detailed book for specifically covering choosing and caring for...

A Breath of Fresh O2 in the World of H2O!
This book is really a breath of fresh air in an industry of VERY stifling books! While not a colorful book, this is well written in a descriptive and easy way that renders it far more enjoyable and informative than half the other books that have first rate photos and "appear" to contain more information. I was looking for a book that would cover everything from inception to enjoyment with starting a salt water aquarium, and this book fit the bill. It also includes many up-to-date aquarium methods that other "guides" such as the Dummy's book don't offer, such as creating a refugium in the place of bio balls. For those of you who might have thought you were a "Dummy" in this hobby, please decide to be an "Idiot" instead!

Certainly the author is not a dummy!
Have read the entire book, some parts several times. Still in the planning stages of an aquarium. Per his advice, I've visited some local stores; there ARE definitely differences in quality among stores! Fortunately, the Twin Cities have some stores totally dedicated to marine aquaria. AND, as a result, some of his suggestions are contradicted by the locals: eg, filter socks don't seem to be essential in front of a protein skimmer; all they add is maintenance headaches. I like the fact that specific brands are mentioned. It's a great intro, and, no doubt due to length restrictions, some parts are glossed over. But, it's a compelling intro. I'm glad I got it. Just don't rely on it exclusively.
