If you are looking for a book to help you understand new filtration methods for your marine aquarium. Do not buy this book. It might work for fresh water tanks.

2.0 out of 5 stars an amateur, February 27, 2005

This review is from: Aquarium Filtration (Complete Authoritative Guide) (Hardcover)

This book describes good filtration systems, some may be considered as old, others too bulky, but what surprised me the most was to find in page 6 referring to nitrite as NO3 and nitrate NO2 (it is nitrite NO2 and nitrate NO3)! After that I took all information with care and check in other book for confirmation. How is it possible for the author to miss this? If you want to see nice photos, fine, but be ware some pages stick together and seem they are going to break, so be careful.

I wish now that I did not buy this book, the information is just too general. Basic design and filter sizing are topics that I expected to find in this book.
