Which books to get for starting a saltwater aquarium?
In this post and in others coming up, I am going to be reviewing my favorite aquarium books, the ones I still use today.
When you are getting started with your first salt water fish tank, one of the most popular kinds of books to get is an fish ID book, to help identify and learn about the animals you want to keep and which ones are compatible with whom, etc..
When I got bit by the reef tank bug, this book wasn’t out yet, but now it is and you need this book if you are going to be keeping corals or saltwater invertebrates of any kind.
The book is called CORALS – A Quick Reference Guide by Julain Sprung.
It’s a really handy book to have close to your tank. It’s great for quick identification and for learning more about the different kinds of corals and the conditions that best suit them.
It also can make a great Christmas or Hanuka present for your favorite reef-a-holic enthusiast.
Julian Sprung is one of my all-time favorite authors whom I chose to follow and learn from when I was just getting started and trying to figure this reed tank thing out. He has always been very straight forward and all of his books are very thorough and well thought out to be as useful as possible.
I highly recommend any book by Julian Sprung.
Happy Fishes,
Warren
