This guy knows what he is talking about. I you are interested in getting a tropical or a marine aquarium for your home, watch these lessons! This lesson in particular teaches how to choose the right fish and coral for your marine aquarium. All of his lessons have been worth it. Especially the lessons that covers water ph chemistry and tank and filter maintenance.

I downloaded this clip after being pleased with some of Exclusive Fish Films' other instructional aquariam setup and maintenance videos.

I had done quite a bit of research on the kinds of fish I wanted for my saltwater fish tank, and this short clip still had a couple of simple tips I hadn't heard before. I expected it to be a little more in-depth, but it turned out the broader information was really all I needed.

I would recommend this video to anyone preparing to set up a new fish tank who wants a few quality guidelines to follow so everything goes smoothly.
