Simplified Reef Keeping overall is the best book that I have seen for beginners. The book explains setting up and maintaining a Reef Aquarium. Robert Metelsky lists his experiences in a way that everyone can benefit from. The tips are on the pages in bolded boxes that are easy to spot. If you are comptemplating setting up a Reef Aquarium, this is the book for you. The book lists the costs involved in setting up and maintaining a Reef Aquarium. This is the first book I have read that clearly explains setting up a sump and the benefits of using one.
This book covers Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects. The DIY plans will save you money, and allot of people are now using DIY projects to help them reduce the costs of this costly hobby. Nowadays it is difficult to receive good tips from experienced Reef Keepers. Many of these so called "experts" give advice that is backed by companies money to promote products. Robert Metelsky shows us his own experiences in a way that basically shows why his tank has flourished. This "no nonsense" approach is what sets this book apart from the rest. Everyone can benefit from the tips found in this book.
