Reef Aquarium Book

[PJW]

Looking to change my FO 75g tank to a Reef Tank. Can any of you give me book titles to start doing research on this. From setting up a tank to equipment, what corals go together/don't go together, lighting, etc. Father always said to read up before you dive in.

I think there's a sticky somewhere, but I'll plug my favortites:
Natural Reef Aquariums, J. Tullock
Aquarium Corals, E Borneman
The Reef Aquarium, Sprung and Delbeek

Of those, I think Borneman's is probably the most up to date and complete regarding coral care, who will attack whom, and different ways to set up reef tanks.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I have about $1000.00 and I know I need some pretty expensive equipment to do this right.

Yep. Don't forget all the time you'll be spending getting it going!

That's the fun part.
