There was nothing about aquascaping

I bought this book to gain some ideas on aquascapes. It had some great information but when it comes to maintenance of your tank and what you want and don't want as far as phone. And ammonia levels and types of sands I felt it had very minimal info on planted tanks with only a couple pages on actual aquascapes. Really wish I didn't pay for this book

This is the most descriptive book I found on Aquascaping. From styles and substrates to plants, corals, lighting, and testing the author explains how to aquascape in clear easy terms with vivid and relevant images. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in or getting started in Aquascaping.

Misleading title and cover description makes you think that this book will help you take your aquascaping techniques to the next level. Nothing of the kind - it's just another beginners aquarium book covering mostly non aquascaping topics with the emphasis on marines and corals.
