Book recommendations?

[spiderwoman]

What books would you recommend to learn more about SPS, LPS etc all cool things that you all grow in your reef tanks. We'll be setting up a reef tank this spring and I'd like to read up on this as much as possible. We currently have a 55g FOWLR.

I always reach for my book by Eric Borneman...Aquarium Corals. Pricey, but has saved me many times. I feel this a must have book for coral.

Both of those will give you a wealth of knowledge about the care of all types of corals. They both have excellent pictures also, because sometimes corals can look very much alike, but have slight differences. Enjoy both.
Oh, and welcome to the world of........"where did all my money go?"

I should have asked that many $K ago! We already run a 55g FOWLR and 44g bowfront FW tank and upgrading to 135G reef very soon, tank already purchased.
I never in a million years would have thought I'd want to try a reef, but here we are
