    Zippy,

    The books you listed are good.
    Marine Fishes is by Scott Michael....Michael Scott is from the Office (That's what she said).

    Another good book is : The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner.

    I also have "Natural Reef Aquariums, simplified approaches to creating living saltwater microcosms" by John Tullock

    I picked all of the books above used on Ebay for a good bargain.
    Good Luck.

    Another good book is "aquarium Corals by Eric Borneman".
    Gives some pretty good detail as to each corals needs and natural locations on the wild reefs.
