Lurker of the deep

[NefariousAquarius]

Been lurking for a while now gathering info as I'm still in the research phase. My innovative marine Nuvo 20 gal is coming in today!

What do y'all find as the best books on the hobby?

Welcome!! I haven't read too many books, I've gathered my info from reading articles and publishments online, plus the info that's available on this forum, but I'm sure others will chime in!

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

Honestly I don't use books to often in this hobby. Mainly YouTube and this forum. I'm sure there are a ton of good ones though! Hopefully you get some great recommendations.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Actual books are rare these days, but I've put a link below. I miss books that we hold... iPad reading isn't the same

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome to R2R! I haven't read that book from A. Thiel but I'm sure it is good. I bought all of my books at LFSs or directly from the publisher to support them and I never ran into that title at the stores but it was on my list. I do have Thiel's Advanced Reef Keeping which is also very good. There are a number of good saltwater-hobby-related authors out there and several good threads on here. Also Jake Adams of Reef Builders likes to discuss books from time to time. You may want to check out some of his Reef Therapy podcasts. There was at least one that was all about books. The internet is great but sometimes it is better to go back to the sources of many of our reefing-legends to get a fresh perspective.

Welcome to R2R.
I use nothing printed as it’s usually dated.
I just use R2R….

Welcome, It's not a book but I've found the BRS YouTube channel very helpful. They have 52 weeks of reefing that's a step-by-step guide on what do to every week for your first year with the tank. I'd watch each week as my tank progressed for that week when I set up my first tank.
