Book Reccomendations

[DamselDame]

I have successfully kept a 29g. Marine tank (fish & inverts.) for a couple of years now. My husbands' friend is selling us his 90g. (with all the other equiptment). I would like to turn this into a full reef tank. However, before I do this I would like to research many things (I've been reading on Marine tanks for three years now, and coming to forums, and I know quite a few things, but for every one thing I know about reefing, there's about 10 more things I DON'T KNOW!!

So, I need to do a lot of reading. I would like to choose books that talk about corals (coral selection, care, etc.), lighting and other equiptment.

I know very little about lighting. I've read a few things on it, but still am very uncertain as to what type of lighting I should pick.

I am willing to read as many books as I need to before I set the tank up. I want to do this right.

Please, do any of you have any book reccomendations? I would like to read books on equiptment (lighting especially), all-around reef books, etc. It would be helpful if someone could reccomend a book on lighting one doesn't have to be an electrician to understand.

Any replys will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone

ReefCentral.com is going to be one of the best sources you could possibly have at your fingertips!

On the book side, the new Reef Aquarium Vol. 3 by Julian Sprung and Charles Delbeek is to date the best book I have read! It is full of very up to date information on just about anything you are going to want to know in terms of a new setup, etc.
