    Any recommendations for good info, I'm wanting to learn pretty much everything from basics, to growing corals, taking care of fish, growing your live rock, cycling and just general need to know stuff.

    I personally prefer to read threads on here and read magazines myself. But, the I don't learn well from just reading a book either. I think Two Little Fishies was supposed to being sponsoring a new book if I remember right. I think someone posted it in a thread late last week or over the weekend.

    The Reef Aquarium Volumes I, II, III. Charles Delbeek and Julian Sprung.

    A little pricey but a great investment. They are more focused on corals and inverts and the science of the hobby, such as water chemistry and equipment. There are some good sections on fish, but they are not focused on fish.
