I need a book

[ryano]

I need suggestions for the best book to cover reef tank livestock. I want something that will tell me what to put together and what to avoid. I also want something that will tell me what to feed, light, water movement and such. Any ideas

Here are a couple ones that we keep very close at hand, Aquarium Corals by Borneman, Hard corals by Jim Fatherree, Soft corals by Jim Fatherree, Corals For The Mini Reef Aquarium byDr. Herbert R Axelrod. All of these books have been very helpful to us..Later Lisa

Three books I have and use regularly.
Marine Fishes by Scott Michael
The New Marine Aquarium by Michael S Paletta
The Marine Aquarium Problem solver by Nick Daken.
The first book is all about fishes.
the second has some fish info but mostly on set-up
and the third book has info on lighting equipment fish inverts and pests.

Natural Reef Aquariums, by John Tullock, and The Coral Reef Aquarium, by Ron Shemik are also great books.
