1: Tropical Aquarium Week by Week
It is a good book but it is strictly for people that have never had a aquarium and are just setting it up or haven't yet.
|
2: Very good and detailed!
Very complete and detailed. Show a sequence of tasks to build a planted tank, stuff for work, types of plant and fishes.
I liked the part of how to treat wood and substrate.

3: Great book if you're going to use live plants
I got this from a local library. Its very good. The author sets up a single tank in the beginning and by the end of the book (week 12) it is fully established. The book is great for people who want to use real plants in their tank.
Theres a big section with various plants arranged into four categories: background plants, midground plants, foreground plants, and floating plants. There are full color pictures on every page. Various species are pictured and described. The fish section is arranged into three groups: first fish, second fish, and third fish. (First fish should be added to the tank first, second fish should be added second, etc.)
The only problem I had with this book is that there is too much emphasis on plants. Personally, I am more interested in animal life and less interested in the plant life. But if you're a beginner and you want to have real plants in your tank then you will love this book. If there was an updated, cheaper, paperback edition, I'd probably buy it.

4: A Must!
This is a great book with lots of illustrations and information. In setting up a new tank, this author has isolated all the important information a beginner should have and if you follow it, the results are awesome. A must have!

5: Nice Book
This is a nice book for anyone that wants to set up an aquarium properly. Very helpful.
