I have just started a marine tank and found this book very useful in my new venture. It details info such as essential water parameters, feeding, basic set up - all good advice on how to get to grips with this fascinating hobby. There is a section on aquascaping, which is interesting, but it would have been useful to have diagrams too. The REALLY useful section is the comprehensive list, with pictures, of a range of marine wildlife, which also details how easy they are to keep, feed, any special habitual requirements etc. All in all, a useful book to have at your disposal. I have read it thoroughly once and have dipped into it numerous time since I bought it a few weeks ago. Useful advice well written - worth the money.

An exceptionally highly recommended book for anyone considering setting out in reefkeeping, or for that matter, already experienced aquarists. I first read this book when it came out in about 1996 (I was working in public aquaria at the time), and it was a pretty mindblowing read even then - there was nothing like this book at that time, and Fossa and Nilsen's masterwork hasn't been bettered since - it seems as fresh and informative today as it did back then, no small achievement in itself, and I personally think this shows how 'ahead of their time' the authors were - compare this to any contemporary 'TFH' book on reef aquaria...
Quite a weighty volume, the first in the series (of four) is a very comprehensive introduction to reef aquarium concepts ... Read More:
