    Hello Everyone! I have a question for you. I need some good reference guides for my students to use when the class starts. I have had one recommendation. But, I was wondering what thoughts you guys had. Thanks!

    I know, but are you trying to teach how to set up an aquarium, about coral husbandry, about fish breeding, or?

    All of the above, actually. I'll be going over the basics of a setup. IF I have the room and equipment, I'll allow them to set up a small one. We will definitely be doing coral husbandry and fish breeding. Of course, I'll also be talking about the ocean, ocean life, landforms, climate, etc.
