While I'm sure people here are sick of me and the following comment...I still feel I need to make it. (it's a complusion).


The following book is my bible when it comes to reef-keeping. I can NOT recommend this book enough (and I TRY, believe me). You definitely must check it out. (it's the 2nd book on TRT's book page!)

You'll be VERY happy you did!!! Great beginner's book...and a great advanced aquarists reference.

I have a LOT of reef books, and I find myself coming back to this one over an over again. Very well written, by the King of reef keeping (IMO). hehehe
