Good Beginner Books?

[markw]

Ive been posting alot lately and I was wondering what everyone suggests to be a beginner book, one that will explain alot of the basics of setting the tank up, equipment, maintaining, and caring for inverts, live rock, fish and/or corals? Id love to get alot more acquainted with this saltwater thing. Thanks. ~*~Mark~*~

Ditto to Bob and Goblin. Fenner's Conscientious ... was a great book. Helped straighten out a lot of wrong info that had been fed to me.
New Marine Aquarium I read afterwards, and helped clarify some things as well. Plus, a second opinion never hurts.
