Book recs please

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a while, but I know where to come when I have a question!

I am looking for book recs about advanced reef keeping. I started out with this book http://www.amazon.com/New-Marine-Aqu...4356376&sr=8-5 and it was great! But I've had my tank for 2.5 yrs now and I am looking to upgrade my itty bitty 29 gallon to a bigger tank. I have several mushroom corals and they are doing great. I want something that identifies different fish, corals, and also has info on equipment, but in a easy to understand format.

TIA for the help!!

I figured. I was trying to find a "sticking out your tongue" smiley, but I couldn't find one. There!

The conscientious marine aquarist is a great all around book, but it doesn't help much once you have a grasp of the basics. The Reef Aquarium by Delbeek and Sprung volumes 1,2 and 3 would be the books I would recommend, a bit pricey but well worth it if you want references for more advanced stuff.
