So for Christmas we do 4 gifts… something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read. My something to want (a Battle corals order). Any suggestions for something to read? My wife was just asking.

I've never read it before but there is a book called The Avant-Garde Marine Aquarist that was written by a well known member on this forum.
I'm assuming you were specifically looking for a book related to the hobby.

Any Julian Sprung book. A lot of the older ones were gospel back in the day (not sure about now). Could be an interesting read to compare to today

Yea the problem with books about this hobby is that the hobby is constantly evolving so the information in the books quickly becomes outdated.

So true always learning new things. Even after 20 years in and out of the hobby. Especially when all is digital.

Yea I also started a little over 20 years ago and the changes are incredible. Not even just the equipment but what is believed to be important.

That is true. I’m one that finds comparisons fascinating. So to read, hey this is what we did 20-30 years ago, compared to the knowledge we use now would be enjoyable to me. It just depends on what type of reading I guess @fragit is looking for.

How about a subscription to Coral Magazine?

My LFS has every single copy of it on a bookshelf in the store.

I was starting to worry because when I woke up this morning it wasn't even in the city I live in yet, but it still made it early in the morning. I know everyone hates FedEx, but where I live they deliver quicker than anyone else.
