Book is mostly lists of possible aquarium designs, with macroalgae, inverts, and fish species listed, as well as general tank size and decor. The author is quite conservative and insists that extremely light bioloads are the "only" way to go (notably, he also opposes any forms of external filtration at all, including the use of protein skimmers).

Bueno, pero insuficientes sus recursos técnicos, bastante completo en cuanto a biotopos y sistemas, pero deficiente en detalles para sistemas de filtración biológicos o mecánicos, incluso carente en cuanto a sistemas de iluminación mas novedosos como LED o Plasma.
