Can anyone recommend a good book on reef keeping that is fairly detailed
with examples of setup? I have the Reef Aqaurium book by Sprung and Delbeek, however it does not go to in depth about the actual setup of a reef aquarium. They talk about numerous methods but no real hard data of what would work best. It is a great book but not exactly what I am looking for. I have visited numerous websites with great info, but nothing beats a good book. I use to have a 180g fish only with sump. I quickly learned that bio-balls are not the way to go. Way too many water changes to suit me. I have sold everything due to a move and would now like to try my hand at a reef setup. Thanks |

Here is a great price on my favorite reef book:
http://www.foryourfish.com/cgi-bin/w...04103075601.98 Go for the hardcover. John makes learning about reef habitats and such quite a good read by also including stories from when he was a biology student at the University of Tennessee..... I think this is Johns best book and has been recently updated... -- Stephen -------------------------------------------------- In-Dash MP3 http://www.highwaymp3.com/ -------------------------------------------------- "Go Gators" wrote in message ...
