Default Best Reef Literature

I only own one book dedicated to the hobby so far....Borneman's Aquarium Corals. It is the best investment I've made. I'm also planning to buy Caltho's Reef Invertebrates.

Any other suggestions??

Delbeek & Sprung's 3 volume set "The Reef Aquarium". I've never even seen a copy...let alone leaf through it, but I hear it's "The Bible".

One of these days.......

Cheers,

If you want a good invert book, Ive heard good things about "Crustacea Guide of the world" by Helmut Debelius. I plan to buy it one day.

Reef Aquarium vol 3. is a great book. Lots of information on setting up a reef aquarium, equipment etc.

Reef Invertibrates and Aqaurium Corals are great books, I also think Corals - A Quick Reference Guide by Sprung is worth noting too.

The reef aquarium series is very good. You can get them from Chapters online or Amazon for decent prices.

Are the Reef Aquarium volumes just updated versions of the previous? Or is each volume worth owning?

Cheers,
So as a newbie still deciding what size and style of tank to invest in Volume 3 would be the place to start?

Can anyone recommend some good fish compatability charts or books? Better yet, fish and coral compatability charts or books?

I believe the Dr smith & foster website has a pretty good compatability chart that came in handy for me.
