This book is great: http://books.google.com/books?id=hX...esult&ct=result&resnum=2#v=onepage&q=&f=false

It's pretty common book around my parts in several stores (marine fish stores).


As for corals... Soft corals. Then comes keeping your water chemistry in check..... really get that book.

Hi There fitter17 I'm afraid DoctaQ is right. You will need more lighting to keep any corals in a tank of that size. there are good t5 8 globe light fitting out there fairly cheap. some come with tubes, but the tubes that come with them are fairly cheep, and would need to be changed out pretty quick.
