Title: Just a quick note for beginner aquarists
Review: Hi...I bought this book thinking it would help me design my first aquarium. Well, it does, if your fist aquarium is a biotope. I would not recommend this book for beginners who are looking for basic ideas to set up their first tank. It DOES have a great intro on fish, substrates and planting. In my opinion, this book is GREAT for someone who has earned their experience and is now up for a new challenge, ie, designing a biotope. If you don't feel like choosing particular types of rocks and gluing them together with silicone to make caves, or, varnishing bamboo inside and out, then, I would recommend that you search the web and look at pictures of other peoples tanks. If you want to set up an African cichlid tank or mangrove biotope, this book is perfect. I still give it 5 stars. Good luck.
