There is a wealth of knowledge available to us
in the form of books ... here are some books which are
highly recommended ("required reading") ... these
are "World Class" books for the marine hobbyist!
These are books which I consider to have been
immeasurably important in my understanding of
how saltwater tanks work. In a large part, due to
the ease of readability and the simplicity of how
they communicate the complexities of our hobby.
I couldn't imagine my bookshelf without them.
