TS-301 Corals for
the Mini-Reef Aquarium, A Guide to By Axelrod This is a guide to the selection and
care of all the corals usually found in the home mini-reef aquarium. Each coral is
appraised according to the ease with which it can be maintained in your mini-reef. This
appraisal is indicated with a color-coding. Green indicates a coral that is recommended
for beginners. Yellow indicates a coral for intermediate mini-reefers, those who have had
a mini-reef successfully for at least 6 months. The Red designation is for experienced
mini-reefers only. Every category of corals suitable for the mini-reef aquarium is
discussed and illustrated. This book is, in essence, a condensation of the coral bible.

the Mini-Reef Aquarium, A Guide to the Selection, Care and Breeding of By Axelrod
1997, hardback, 285 pages, many Color photos, For the past 100 years of aquarium keeping
there has been a steady increase in hobbyists successfully keeping a mini-reef aquarium.
Not satisfied with just keeping reef fishes, hobbyists have turned to adorning their
mini-reef aquariums with invertebrate life. The most beautiful and interesting of
invertebrates are the flower animals ... the corals. Here for the first time is a complete
listing of all the corals that have successfully been maintained in mini-reef aquariums.
Each listing provides a wonderful photograph to assist in the proper identification of the
coral animal, along with all the information necessary to maintain the flower animal
successfully in your mini-reef aquarium. Included in the listing is such vital information
as the degree of difficulty hobbyists can expect in dealing with the coral, its range and
origin, the amount of light it requires and how much water movement is necessary.
