I picked up this book from a local pet store. I've been in the saltwater hobby for 11 years. I was always a fish-only guy. I snagged this book on a whim, and I love it.
If you are a newbie, and thinking of getting into a mini-reef with live rock, live sand, corals, and maybe some fish .. then this book is a great place to start.
Another reviewer mentions something about the title being deceiving. I think he was looking for a nano-reef book. Like a tiny 12 gallon aquarium. This book is not really about nano-reefing. Check out nano-reef.com if you're really looking for that type of information.
Fun and encouraging but not enough

A fun and encouraging book that is practical when setting up a new tank. Up-to-date information that is well structured. On the downside, this book shys away from explaining some concepts or warnings in better detail and annoys when the author jokingly admits he doesn't really get it either because one has to be a chemist for this or that anyway.
