You and this book,
By
This review is from: You and Your Aquarium (Paperback)
Ok, first, great book for the beginner. If you are new but enthused, this book will help in several ways. Informs you of tank setup, maintenance, fish species and compatability, correct water biology, and a good general guide to the art. It has excellent illustrations on tank setup, from hardware to types of gravel and plants in two formats, one for hardware one for everything else, and many to choose from. A good reference on fish and types, with excellent photos from common fish in Tropical and Marine. Outlines everything you will need to setup and maintain your aquarium with interesting reading. Has a chapter on how to photograph your fish as well as how to show them. Second, I read this book cover to cover in two days, easy reading...but not to vague. If you are starting out, you must have this book. If other books have confused you, this one will help. I recommend it :).

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but dated and redundant,
By cmpst52 "cmpst52" (Denton, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You and Your Aquarium (Paperback)
Dick Mills writes pretty good aquarium books. However, he's written the same book four or five times. Getting any one of his books (I'd suggest "The Tropical Aquarium") means you've read them all.
Also, this book was published in 1986, and is quite out of date. The understanding of the nitrogen cycle in this book is very primative. Get a more recent book.

Dick Mills is the Man with regard to aquarium survey books!,

This review is from: You and Your Aquarium (Paperback)
"You and Your Aquarium" is one of Mills' many masterpieces for the beginner to advanced beginner among aquarists. This book shows the basics of aquarium-keeping and many of the most common fish found in the tropical hobby, but advanced concepts are only mentioned at best and skipped at worst.Since this is an older book, the concept of "fishlessly cycling" aquaria is not touched upon, which is a glaring enough omission to warrant docking the book a star. Other than that, the beginning aquarist will find this to be one of the greatest aides to success in the hobby.
