Reef book recommendation please?

Murdoch98 · 02/01/2016, 09:55 PM

I am not new to marine aquariums, I have had a the same tank running for 15 years and also have my two original clowns still thriving. I have a 75 gallon reef ready oceanic tank, with home made sump/refugium 20 gallons below. I have a newer model skimmer with the needle wheel pump and 2 48" led strips for lights. Two inch sand bed and 75-100 pounds live rock and fish only. I have been thinking of taking the leap to corals, however I have been out of the "newest" methods as far as equipment goes, for 6 or 7 years. Is there a good up to date book or link explaining the basics for someone who is half way there? Thanks.

You just posted to the best location for updated information.
I have quite a few books, but new ones are far and few between. I'm at work, so I can't remember the titles off hand. I'll update tonight.
My suggestion is to read all you can here. With the combined knowledge and experience here, I'm sure all your questions will be addressed.
