I currently have :
"Aquarium Corals" by Borneman
"The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" by Fenner
"Corals A Quick Reference Guide" by Sprung
Today I picked up a new(to me at least) book by Calfo & Fenner "Reef Invertebrates an essential guide to selection, care and compatibility"
From what I've read so far it appears to be a quality addition to my growing library and I understand that they plan future volumes. They discuss a "natural filtration system" that very closely resembles my approach to reefkeeping. So far this has been a very interesting read.

I have a few of the same:
"Concientious marine aquarist" by fenner
"aquarium corals" by borneman
and
"the reef aquarium vol 1" by JC Delbeek & J sprung
" the modern coral reef aquarium" by Svien fossa & Nilsen
"marine fishes" by Michael
"water chemistry for the marine aquarium" by John Tullock
I have not yet read "The modern coral reef aquarium" or " the reef aquarium" as I got them for christmas! I started "the modern coral reef aquarium" & so far so good! All the others where excellent, especially "aqaurium corals"by borneman. It was the most informative to me so far.

Here are mine:
"The Book of the Marine Aquarium"
"The Marine Aqarium Problem Solver"
"A Practical Guide to Corals for the Reef Aquarium"
"Plankton Culture Manual"
"Conditioning, Spawning & Rearing Fish with Emphasis on Marine Clownfish"
The last two books are very good if you are interested in breeding fish.

Several of those are on my list of future additions to my library. Sadly the "needs" and "wants" of this hobby rapidly deplete a budget!
:thinking:

Between the two of us, my husband and I have at least 500+ books (you name it).
However, only one that's relevant... Aquarium Corals. I've got a few others, but none newer than 1980 or so. They are not of much use now.
Fortunately, the public library here has some pretty good reads for free.

" Corals a quick reference guide"
" Invertebrates a quick reference guide"

I had those and the way my dogs showed their jealousy of the fish was by eating them. I want to replace them and not leave them lying around accidentally but, in the meantime I search for articles online by these and other of my favorite authors.
