I have The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium Vol 3 - by Fossa and Nilsen. In this third volume of the encyclopaedia on "The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium", you will find seven chapters containing a well of information not found in any other books on the subject! The book starts out with a small chapter putting the animals we keep into an evolutionary perspective. Chapter 2 contains microscopic single-celled animals that are so important for the biological balance of any aquarium. Chapter 3 takes a look at the sponges, true filter feeders among the invertebrates. Chapter 4 deals with many small invertebrate phyla - such as the sea spiders and the water bears - most of which are rarely described in other aquarium books. The huge Chapter 5 covers all the phyla comm only called "Marine Worms", and here you will find scientifically updated information on all sorts of marine worms as well as unique photos and comments on those species and groups frequently found in your reef aquarium. Do not miss the chance to view and learn about these interesting groups of animals! Chapter 6 tells you a lot on the Crustaceans, a group of invertebrates that have been popular among aquarists since the beginning of the marine hobby. You will find a well of new information on the most common species seen in the trade as well as presentations of more uncommon, but never the less highly interesting species for the reef enthusiasts. Last, but certainly not least, chapter 7 presents 43 private reef aquaria from all over the world. Her you will find interesting photos, technical descriptions as well as a lot of information on the animals inhabiting the different tanks.
If you wish to be a sponsor....reply to this list. The first preson will get the book until our next meeting. The next people on the list will receive the book at the following meeting it is due back.

I'd like to borrow this again if possible. If someone else wants it also they can be put ahead of me since I've read it before.
Thank you.

Since I cannot make this meeting due to family issues, if anyone wanted this book I can take it to their house.
If not, I'll eventually get it back to you before the next meeting Scott.

No problem Burks. Nobody is asking for it yet so you can hang onto it a little longer.

With a recent move maybe you don't have this book at your fingertips, but if you do I'd like to check it out.

Actually Burks still has the book. He's going to give it back to me next time he sees me.

I really like all the books by these guys. They are well written and have good advice. I have only read most of the first volume and browsed the others.

They are excellent reads I would recommend them to anyone! Great source for referencing coral care on different species.
