Book Recommendation

Curtis1551 · 04/24/2007, 07:00 PM

I am ordering Joyce Wilkerson's book about Clownfish and need to spend just a few more dollars to get free shipping. So, I would like a recommendation for a book that has a lot of general information about marine aquariums. I currently only have two books and they are not very good. Thanks.

I'd get Eric Borneman's "Aquarium Corals" and one or more of Scott Michael's books on fish. The Reef Fishes book is a small and handy reference.

I recommend Calfo and Fenner's: Reef Invertebrates, An Essential Guide to Selection, Care and Compatibility

I have both "The Concientious Marine Aquarist" and "Aquarium Corals". I still reference them frequently.
