There are so many fantastic books written on everything related to Reef Keeping, and corals and salt water fish.

We don't really recommending specific books as they change all the time, but we can definitely recommend some authors you should check out.

REEF BOOKS

For Reefs, some of the authors that you can't go wrong with include the reef gurus Julian Sprung and Charles Dilbeck, who wrote a fantastic series of books that are considered the "bible" of the hobby.

Dr Bruce Carlson is on the staff of the Georgia Aquarium near our facility. He is also the former director of the Waikiki Aquarium in Hawaii. He has written many great articles an all aspects of reefkeeping.

Other great authors include Richard Harkin on saltwater chemistry, the legendary Martin Moe (primarily saltwater fish), Eric Borneman has a great Practical Guide to Identifying Soft corals, Steve Tyree whose focus is on SPS , Dana Riddle, whose focus is on aquarium lighting, John Tulloch focuses on general reefkeeping. And dont forget the "bible" of SPS coral books, JEN Verons Corals of the IndoPacific.

MARINE FISH BOOKS

For marine fish, Scott Michael is a leader in the field, and has written extensively on saltwater fish. .

Im sure I am leaving out some obvious great ones, and need to add them. But for a more extensive list of books, you can check our Farming Website Booklist.
