Default Book recommends

I have a gift certificate for amazon.ca that is expiring soon, so I thought that I’d buy a book on our wonderful hobby! Any recommends/must haves?

Thanks, I already have Marine Fish and Marine Invertebrates, so I was hoping to expand my reference collection a little bit.

Muck, I think I got that clownfish book and wasn't impressed, I will double check tonight if I can remember though.

Coral magazine is pretty good, just ignore the relentless EcoSystem advertising

Some good solid references would the The Reef Aquarium Volumes 1,2,3 by Sprung & Delbeek. Very pricey but very good.

coral magazine imho is without a doubt the best thing that has happaned to reefkeeping in awhile. the ecosystem ads are there becuase the company that owns the magazine also owns ecosystem. i noticed in the newest issue a lack of their ad's so maybe something is changing.

havent read it yet but it looks good

They are $10 at AI. And they usually have a bunch of back issues as well, there are maybe 10 or so out now.
