Looking to start a reef tank, and am doing the reading first. I have Borneman's "Aquarium Corals", and Michael's "101 Best Marine Invertebrates". These seem to be a fine books, but the latter is not really intended to be comprehensive of methods and knowledge, and the former is dated "2001", so I have to believe there is a lot of new and not-even-so-new information I will want.
I have looked at some on-line tutorials, and they seem to offer little more than common sense, (at least to someone like me, who had a marine tank way back in the 70's), with nothing about the latest thinking on trace elements, zooxanthellae inoculation, and similar esoterica. What then, is the best example of a comprehensive, up-to-date tutorial or book?
