Reef Notes: 1991/1992, Vol. 2 Book

Overall, a well written and intelligent approach to a relatively untapped aspect of the aquarium hobby: the mini (nano) set-up. The chapters cover fresh, salt and brackish tanks as well as vivaria and ponds. It is a broad coverage primer on the concepts and varieties of smaller tanks and/or containers ranging from the desktop to 1000 gallons and more.

While a good read, I don't believe it was intended to be a ready reference work. Its a good introduction.Its a great coffee table book. It is a bit repetetive in information and sometimes disorganized. I've been a hobbyist since the late 70's and since moving to smaller quarters a number of years ago I've had to limit tank size and number (from 16 down to 5 tanks and a pair of 2 gallon drum bowls.) The book is a good jumping off point for me for further reading. This book served its purpose admirably well.
