ONE OF THE most biologically rich environments on Earth, the coral reef dazzles our senses with its colors, shapes, and species diversity. Recreating living reefs in miniature is a burgeoning avocation for serious home aquarium keepers, and John Tullock here offers a new, radically simple approach to producing beautiful captive microcosms. Using live rock and live coral sand as part of a natural filtration system, the home aquarist can now mimic habitats such as a Florida Keys Lagoon, a Caribbean Turtle Grass Flat, an Indo-Pacific Deep Cave, or a Red Sea Patch Reef. With more than 100 color photographs and illustrations, Natural Reef Aquariums provides inspiration for both beginning and expert marine reef hobbyists. Natural Reef Aquariums includes: Understanding Live Rock & Live Sand The Biotope Approach Simplified Filtration Techniques Recommended Reef Species Beginner Planning Guides Authentic Aquascapes World-Class Reef Habitat Photographs  John Tullock is a zoologist and a leading authority in the reef aquarium world. He is actively working to promote the use of sustainably collected marine species and the captive propagation of reef fishes and invertebrates. He lives near Knoxville, Tennessee.

Excellent for beginners, but you'll need a baisc grasp of chemistry and biology. Don't pay too much attention to the details (e.g. some of the fish mentioned are almost unattainable) however the principals are all very sound and well explained.
