I had the original and read it many times, but one thing that always troubled me was that there was descriptions of interesting designs and ideas, but never any pictures to go along with it. This book rectified that. I enjoyed reading it again, even if some stuff is a bit dated at this point.

Living in a small town I don't have easy access to knowledgeable people who have marine aquariums. This book has more info than I have found in any other source. Although I am only interested in display tanks I am using this book as a source as I set up my next, bigger project. The only negative thing I can say is that there is some repetition of ideas. This is probably more a function of the editor than the author though and in no way takes away from the content. I recommend this to anyone, especially those who, like me, are pretty much flying solo without experienced mentors.

I was not expecting the depth to which this book takes you into all facets of Coral husbandry. It was interesting to read about how to create a business around Coral farming, although there is a ton of helpful information which will help the aquarist propagate his/her corals in the reef tank. Very satisfied! I recommend this book to anyone interested is keeping all types of Coral.

If you are a reefer, don't buy another coral until you purchase this book. This book is so informative and contains everything you need to know.
