Wow, that is alot of books. But how many of these would you actually recommend to others to read/buy?

If you are interested in Breeding fish Genetic for Aquarists is an excellent book.

Marine Reef Hand book is a good entry level book, tons of good information.

Your First Marine Aquarium does a good job of describing the differences between a Berlin, Smithsonian (Algal Turf Scrubber), Monaco and a natural reef system.


More to come....

Aquarium Corals:Selection, Husbandry and Natural History by Eric Borneman, Reef Fishes Vol I and Marine Fishes: 500+ Essential To Know Aquarium Species by Scott W. Michaels are my favourites. Tulluck's book is a great beginners book that gives the basics and an excellent view on building area specific biotopes.

I agree Troy that Tullock book is enjoyable.
