4.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Marine Aquarium Book, June 8, 2000
This review is from: Basic Marine Aquarium: A Simplified, Modern Approach to the Care of Saltwater Fishes (Contribution / Sea Research Foundation, Inc) (Paperback)
Great old book reviewing basics many have forgotten about marine Aquariums. Obviously dated but if you're interested in a collectors item or going back over some of the things we seem to have forgotten through the years I'd recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little out of date..., December 28, 2010
This review is from: Basic Marine Aquarium: A Simplified, Modern Approach to the Care of Saltwater Fishes (Contribution / Sea Research Foundation, Inc) (Paperback)
The book is good but was published in 1983. Since then there's been some pretty major advancements in filtration and overall care for saltwater aquariums. It is an interesting read though and you can tell the author really cares about the marine aquarium home habitat. If you're looking to learn about marine aquariums there are some books that are better suited but if you're looking to learn more about how the hobby has grown it would be a good read for you.
