Cool Book
I liked it. I bought it along with the Saltwater Aquariums for Dummies book because I know from many years of keeping fresh water aquariums, different authors will have different opinions. I like to get a different take on things and didn't want to base the set up of my brand new saltwater tank on just one book.
