Our first book will be The Conscientous Marine Aquarist by Robert M. Fenner.

We will try to notify each author as we review their books.

I'm in. I like The Reef Aquarium v. III as well. I know it's pricey, but it really stands out as a true reference book to be familiar with.

Im up for the book club, the only catch is i dont think i could spend 70 bucks on a book.... but im all for the idea

I'm almost scared to post, but I want my book badge. LOL
I haven't read that one yet, I'm in.

I'm in for the reef aquarium Vol.3
I have the other two and they were by far the most useful books i have ever bought. I think buy.com has it for cheaper $65 and free shipping

Well, I was going to take Jon up on his suggestion that I play Oprah, but I'm more than happy to let Leslie take the lead on this

I think it might be more important for me to take the role of Dr. Phil.

As much as I love the RA vol. 3 and think it is the most comprehensive system design book out there, it is a bit like starting with Moby Dick or Ulysses---- where do you go from there????? And this is not the book I would suggest to beginners if that is our intent. What would I suggest? Hmmm. I'm not sure, I'll get back to you.

I'm in, too. I'll read whatever we decide!

-and I loved the original thread! I didn't post to it b/c I was afraid of being called a "lurker" or being accused of trying to pad my posts... Haha!

If u notice not many are willing to get into this idea of reading....And ofcourse the price is a little steep. So may be there is a way we can cut costs?

**jhale** · 02-26-2007, 12:25 AM

Randy your welcome to take the lead, once a book is picked you can start the thread for it.
thinking about it I agree the reef volume 3 is too much to start with.
for me it's the default reference. I'm interested to see what choices you come up with.
