quick question

[mr.krabbz]

I know this question has probably been asked a million times. But i figured this is the best place to go. What are some good books for the novice aquarist. I dont need anything to explain how to set one up, but more along the lines of mantaining water quality. And maybe something to kinda explain water chemistry. The more in depth the better. Thanks for any help

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner is said to be the 'saltwater bible'
and
The New Marine Aquarium: Step-By-Step Setup & Stocking Guide by Michael S. Paletta
are the staples. Along sometimes:
A PocketExpert Guide to Marine Fishes: 500+ Essential-To-Know Aquarium Species by Scott W. Michael

(Hmm..Maybe I didnt answer the question..)

I would add
Marine Chemistry
By: C. R. Brightwell

Thats probably a little more appropriate for the question.

Compared to some other books it is quick and easy to use.
