4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring tank setups, September 12, 2001

"sean_uk" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Natural Aquarium (Hardcover)

This is a beautifully photographed book, with many ideas for creating natural or biotope type aquarium setups. They range from heavily planted setups to rocky Rift Lake tanks. There are suggestions for fish, plants and technical considerations. The book does not go into large amounts of detail about individual fish species or habitats, but if you are looking for inspiration on aquascaping your tank(s), it is one of the best books I have seen on the subject.

1.0 out of 5 stars No News, too many adds, just boring, November 8, 1999

Morten Reintoft (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Natural Aquarium (Hardcover)

This book looks very nice. But after reading it i was greatly disappointed. No news, just traditional aquarium setups. And the setups not remotely loking natural. To many species of plants organized like a suburbian garden, not like the wildernes af amazon jungle river or pond. The authors are not very creative. No new suggestions on which materials to use, and on top of that, the book is full of adds, and do deliver any objective or new perspectives on the technical setup of a fish tank that could help you create the illusion of a natural aquarium. all in all Dissapointing

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book. REALLY Glossy photos, November 1, 2006

David J. Vize "Beany" (Townsville, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Natural Aquarium (Hardcover)

I recieved this book about 4 days ago and looking through it find it a great resource. They used some very unusual method of prniting the images, they are super glossy almost like photos stuck into the book ratehr than a printed page. Very clear images. A little more info on tending for plants, substrate and filtration would have been great too.
all in all well worth the purchse.
