I am very experience with tropical fish but was wondering if there is a "bible" type book for salt water aquarium owners.
I am most interested in setting up caring for my aquarium, information on the fish is secondary as I can find that info many places.
I am looking to build a 72 G, reef aquarium and want to be able to have many types of corals, etc (I plan on "high" lighting 7-9 watts per gallon).
Anyways, looking for those one or two books that I will want to have around for reference/advice.
Thanks!
please email me at bboersma@babson.edu as I may not check my PMs here for a while.

One of the best books you can buy, and most people here agree, is Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner. You can get it from this site, under Dry Goods, for $28.

The Fenner book is fantastic at laying out the basics of SW aquaria. For more specific information on reef tanks and especially corals, I would recommend Anthony Calfo's "Book of Coral Propagation".
