I'm a longtime FW aquarist with experience in large-scale FW/SW aquaculture, but I'm pretty new to reefing. Can someone recommend a few good books to help me bone up on reefing & SW in general, or direct me to an existing thread that addresses this? Thanks!

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner is an excellent choice. There is a thread about this book and below is another thread about reefing books.

The archives section of these forums are also a great place of reference!

Any book by Dr Shimek is good.

Reef Aquaria as Ecosystems - by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

I like these two books to help guide your livestock choices:

i've read 4-5 "general" marine aquarium and the one by Fenner was the best by a mile (or do we use fathom here ? :D)

Considered by many as a reefkeeper's bible.
