4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Guide, my fish love it!, June 27, 2000

This review is from: The Successful Mini-Reef Aquarium (Hardcover)

I received this book after I set up my 15 gallon and 5.5 gallon mini-reefs. I think this book does a good job in explaining everything very thoroughly. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it just doesn't compare to talking to your local pet store. If you don't have a great local pet store then you should definitely get this book as a reference!
