What are some good books?

[BigLar]

I want to buy some good books. I currently have Corals Quik Ref. Guide/Julian Sprung. It's OK, but I want something more informative.

Veron's Corals of the World( i think i have the spelling right) is a pure scientific publication about corals and their habitats and behavior. Its a farely exspensive set though. For more reef keeping information The Reef Aquarium Vol 1 and 2 by delbeek and sprung are also good.

I have the mind of a 5 year old and own a fire extinquisher you cant imagine the things i do.

Corals of the World is a good set of books. MAy I also recommend "The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium" by Fossa and Nilsen. These guys really did their homework! 3 EXCELLENT volumes. JMO[img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I have "A Practical Guide To Corals For the Reef Aquarium" by: Ed Puterbaugh and Eric Borneman it's been very helpful. The book has great care charts as far as lighting needs, water flow, aggressiveness and difficulty of care.

May I suggest http//:www.alldirect.com Check out their selection of fish and aquarium related books. They have just about any book you could ever want and some of the best prices on the web. I have gotten many books through them and been very satisfied. Check them out.

I second Hugh's recommendation of alldirect.com. We ordered "The Reef Aquarium" from them (definitely a good reference) and were very happy with the prices and service.
