Book Suggestions for starters

[Max Hill]

Hello R2R,

I just got done reading Saltwater Tanks for Dummies. I am interested in learning about any other good resources for beginners.

I'm interested in building a Reef tank. I'm shooting for something larger than 35 gallons. I plan on having a few fish and a good clean up crew. Hope that helps.

Thank you

Welcome to Reef2Reef! I have never actually read a reefing related book, using mostly this forum for information. There is plenty of great info in the articles section and elsewhere. Hopefully someone else will chime in with book recommendations.

I learned everything I needed to know from R2R and various youtube video series. With that being said... I have read two amazing books since then. I would recommend them to everyone.

Welcome to R2R! Reefing changes faster than books can be written and edited. Online forums and groups are your best bet. As far as books go there are several out there that are great for learning about fish and corals but they tend to lean towards highly scientific. I do enjoy Coral magazine.

It’s not a book, but the 52 weeks reefing on BRS TV (you tube) is a good place to start. Also the five minute guide to Reefing from BRS TV is also good. 52 weeks series is a little bit outdated now but this forum can help you with the latest information. I’m not sure I would buy a book by the time it’s published the information is out of date.
also the comprehensive guide that someone mentioned above on this website is valuable.
