1.0 out of 5 stars outdated and misleading-forget about this one!, March 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Mini-Reef Aquarium (Selection Care & Breeding) (Hardcover)
Somewhat disorganized and very misleading,due for the most part because its outdated.It categorizes as hard to keep most of the SPS corals that are common to the hobby today.The pictures aren't that great and I'm still searching for the "care & breeding" section that the book's title refers to.This book is truly a waste of money!

3.0 out of 5 stars A plus for beginning Reefers, June 16, 2001
By 
"fish_70" (Galveston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Mini-Reef Aquarium (Selection Care & Breeding) (Hardcover)
Dr. Herbert Axelrod continues to pass on his aquatic prowess in this book for coral enthusiasts. Novice reefkeepers should definitely invest in this book as it is very easy to read and understand. Experienced reefkeepers would even profit from having this book in their aquatic library for reference at any time, as it is thorough in all the typically kept hard and soft corals. Each coral is given its own color-coded review for difficulty of keeping and put into one of three catagories, green for beginners, yellow for experienced keepers of corals, and red for those who consider themselves experts. On the whole this is a great reference for anyone who is considering keeping corals, either for the first time or continuing to keep them after years of experience.
