    my friend sent me this link for this book because were building an aquarium for his new apartment and I was wondering if anyone has this book and if it was worth getting?
    I am probly gonna order it anyway because its only 37$ seems like a good value with the 3 books that come with it as well as a gift, but some input would be nice... anyone read it?

    Web page reads like a cheap, cheesy 2am infomercial, lol. While I have no experience with these books, my gut tells me to avoid them. Could be worse than Saltwater Aquariums for Dummies, and I thought that was impossible.
    I recommend "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" if you need a book. But in all honesty, why get a book when you have access to places like 3Reef? ;)

    true lol but i guess he wants to do some good reading before. He wants to get a tank from 85-100gal reef tank and i told him it was no simple task and that a lot of effort has to be put in. once i said that he went on the book hunting spree lol

    That book will not be a good reading. the book stated above by pack is a GREAT read, or any book by anthony calfo is a good read as well. I would not waste your money there.
