“Learning about the aquarium hobby doesn’t have to be confusing or boring”

There is a lot of information available online, but knowing where to go and what to believe can sometimes be a challenge, especially when the advice doesn’t add up. What you need (and what Albert provides) is information you can trust, use right away and enjoy reading.


Albert writes his books for the new aquarium hobbyist who wants to learn and laugh a little, while they are reading. What separates his writing from other books about the hobby is the straightforward way he explains complex topics and provides actionable tips you can put to use right away.

In his spare time, Albert likes to spend time with his wife and three daughters, tinker with his website, listen to audiobooks, go fishing and he especially enjoys doing nothing.

The New Saltwater Aquarium Guide
I got started in the saltwater aquarium hobby approximately 5 months ago. And this book I have to admit helped me along those five months. It's a great guide for both novice and advanced aquarist's alike. It's simple to understand which is very important for the beginner or layman. And as you can see by the included photo. My own Marine Reef Aquarium is coming along just fine!

5.0 out of 5 stars HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Great Book For Someone Starting A Saltwater Tank
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2015
Verified Purchase
I recently decided to start a saltwater tank and bought a Biocube 29. During my initial days of research, I combed the internet and found way too much information out there that was either contradicting or confusing (for a noob). I started searching Amazon for a book to read that kept it simple as possible and presented a reasonable amount of information for the money. I decided to download a sample for this book, and really liked the tone (not overly serious and sometimes quite funny), plus it covered everything a noob like me should know (without major overkill or information that might scare you from starting the hobby), so I decided to buy it.

I read the entire book over the course of a couple days and LOVED it! The information presented was full and easy to understand, and fun to read. I highly recommend this book if you're thinking about starting a hobby or are in the initial stages of starting. I've gone to it a few times afterwards to re-fresh also, so it's a good point of reference to have on hand later on. I joined the author's blog and found it to be informative and he's very open to help anybody that might have a quirky question (like me!). Totally worth $8...don't hesitate especially if you enjoy the sample Kindle provides.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great First Look Into the Saltwater Hobby
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2019

This book was a great introduction into the hobby, offering a great foundation for diving into the saltwater world. It was entertaining to read, and flowed well. This is hardly a comprehensive (or advanced) resource, so I would recommend this book as one component of your saltwater fish keeping library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for a beginner - I learned a ton. Definitely a good buy.

Great book for a newbie (me). I started doing research a few weeks ago and this is by far the best book I have read. Organized well, easy to read, funny and digestible (as Mr. Ulrich would say). Probably the most important thing mentioned here I didn't see much about elsewhere is the idea of a "quarantine" tank. From reading this book I now have a different and must smarter plan of starting with that tank first. If in doubt buy this book - and the price is certainly right. Only problems I had were a few photos missing and no table of contents, but this might very well be my older Kindle fire I read it on, I need to upgrade. I also loved the acronym section in the back, will make it much easier to understand the online forums and such now. Fabulous book :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining Read
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2014

This is one of the best how to saltwater aquarium books I have read. It gives you straight forward information to set up and maintain a reef tank or fish only tank. I found that the writing style made it easy for the reader to understand what the author was trying to communicate. Far too often salt water aquarium books become extremely technical and the reader has to fight off the upcoming snooze fest. The author is not concerned with telling you how much he knows like so many others seem to be doing. He is more concerned with communicated what you should know. Whether you are a beginning aquarist, advanced aquarist or somewhere in between you will enjoy this book. I felt like I was hanging out with a fellow hobbyist and we were talking shop. Great book Al hope you will write another one.

As another review mentioned, reading this book is like sitting down at the kitchen table and learning about reef aquariums from a good friend. I wanted to catch up on any changes in the hobby since back when I started, and picked this because of its 5-star rating. I've read many books on reef aquariums, fish and coral over the years and this is easily one of the best. As someone who has had a reef aquarium for over 20 years, I can tell you that his information is accurate and his advice is spot-on. If you're just getting started with a reef aquarium, this is your go-to book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice overall introduction
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017

This book covers every topic required, however it doesn't go deep and you'll end up needing more, and that is not bad!

A full marine aquarium book is huge and heavy to digest, anyway no matter what you chose you'll need to be able to research yourself if you really want to make it, in that sense this is what the author accomplishes, he walks you through the basics and then it's up to you to dig further and that's good!

So is this good?
If you want an easy short reading on the simplified way, or just to have a quick look at what you are getting into, buy this book and join a community to help you out, as you go you will have tons of questions anyway.

If you want to go as deep as you can with every posible detail and understand in deep every factor, then you want some heavy reading and this one won't work.

5.0 out of 5 stars and very easy to comprehend
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
As a beginner in the world of saltwater I've been reading every book I can find on the subject. This book and the other two written by the author have by far been the most informative and interesting as a beginner. The information in all three books have been to the point, realistic, and very easy to comprehend. A few books I've read you would need a degree in marine biology to understand but the author does a great job translating the never ending information needed to know for this hobby. I consider all three books a must read for anyone interested in the hobby, the authors knowledge mixed with his humor makes all three books an informative and easy read.

I read this book before setting up my tank and it has been invaluable as a reference for how I am to deal with certain issues and how things are supposed to work with my selected corals. I'd definitely recommend this for all beginners in the hobby as a good reference piece for when their tanks are started or going for some time.

As a new entry into the world of marine aquarium keeping, I sincerely appreciated this book as a good book to introduce complicated marine biology issues in a non-threatening, fun way. Filled with witty retorts, casual explanations, and professional grade answers this book proved to be both a great introduction as well as an ongoing reference. I would highly recommend this book to any new marine/reef aquarist.
