Hey all, I am someone that believes that there is no such thing as TOO much knowledge. I am looking for some books that are a basic guide to Identification, both scientific and common names, lighting requirements and general info of Corals. Is there a book out there that covers these and doesn't cost a fortune. Thanks for the help. Take Care and God Bless, Peter

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert M. Fenner. It was mentioned to us by our friend who owns a lfs.. our go-to bible when we're not online here; always a great reference!

I would get Sprung's Corals book. Along the same lines, plan on getting his 3 series book with Delbeek. They cover just about everything that is to be covered in those 3 books including plumbing, mechanics, and physics of equipment in the last one.
