1. Make sure Stockfish's engine-book, book.bin, is placed alongside Stockfish executive file (engine).
2. Open Aquarium GUI and add Stockfish engine to the GUI. Remember to select UCI when installing Stockfish in Aquarium.
3. In Stockfish's engine parameter that is displayed,place a check-mark by Own book.
And that's it. Stockfish will now use its own book in Aquarium.
