By	Ana Zecchini (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bougth this book because I am planning to buy an aquarium and I don't have any idea abouth this subject. I really enjoyed reading this book because it is simple, and gave me a very good picture of the things that I need to do to set up an aquarium successfully. It gives a very good introduction if you are not familiar with aquariums. This book is a must if you are getting your first aquarium.
