“研究特点s and care requirements of any fish or invertebrate you plan to keep.”
“Studying the fundamentals of saltwater aquarium keeping before setting up your first system is a hallmark of success.”
我们在Saltwater Smarts上一次又一次地分发了这样的建议。但是，知道您应该在购买牲畜或尝试新技术之前进行研究只是等式的一半。另一半是知道您可以求助于哪些来源获取可靠的权威信息。毕竟，那里有很多文学作品，并不是所有的文献都同样准确或值得信赖。
因此，在今天的帖子中，加勒比海克里斯和我想开始一份海洋水族馆参考资源清单，我们认为，我们认为，如果不可或缺，即使不是必不可少的，那些渴望可靠，经过时间考验的指导的业余爱好者。在每个清单下，我们将解释为什么我们认为这项工作对爱好如此有价值。
Note that I said “begin a list.” That’s because this page will be a work in progress and we’d like to include input from you, our fellow salties. If you have in mind an authoritative reference source that aided in your hobby success, please share it in the comment section below along with a brief description of its virtues. We’ll then add it to the main list along with your explanation.
So, without further ado, here is our partial list:
The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, by Robert Fenner
没有必要海洋水族馆参考材料的清单将是完整的The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, or CMA as it’s known in hobby parlance. Originally published in 1998 and penned by Robert Fenner, this book covers all the fundamentals and time-tested techniques of marine aquarium keeping in straightforward, easy-to-understand language. The author also devotes a major portion of the book to informative profiles of many popular fish families and invertebrates.
新海洋水族馆, by Michael Paletta
在我看来，本设置和存放海洋水族馆的分步指南是初学者可用的最好的书之一。这个适中的杂物涵盖了从规划到设备选择，含水，骑自行车，维护，牲畜选择和鱼类疾病的所有内容，并带有有用的技巧。
海洋水族馆手册：繁殖者初学者，马丁·莫（Martin Moe）
There’s a reason海洋水族馆手册is the best selling aquarium book of all time. Author Martin Moe has a unique gift for distilling complex information down to its easily comprehended essence. As the title implies, this book leads hobbyists from the fundamentals of their first aquarium setup all the way through the basics of fish breeding.
Marine Fishes: 500+ Essential-To-Know Aquarium Species，由斯科特·迈克尔（Scott Michael）
我的这本书的副本实际上已经崩溃了，因为我已经引用了很多次。它具有数百种流行海洋鱼类的简洁概况，提供了科学和通用的名称，最大长度，范围，护理和喂食要求以及每个物种的礁石水族馆兼容性。这本书是袖珍或钱包大小的，因此您可以轻松地将其带到当地的鱼类商店，以帮助选择适合您的水箱的物种。
海洋无脊椎动物：500多个知识水族馆物种, by Ronald Shimek
This guide essentially does for marine invertebrates what Michael’s guide does for fish – and is equally portable, so you can easily bring both along on your next trip to your local fish store. The concise profiles cover all the essentials and provide helpful advice (such as captive care and feeding) for hundreds of popular species.
水族馆珊瑚：选择，饲养和自然历史, by Eric Borneman
If you’re looking for a much more comprehensive treatment of aquarium corals, complete with a visual feast of eye-popping photographs, this book is a must. In-depth natural history and captive care requirements are provided for myriad species. This book also delves into the wonders of the natural coral reef habitat, coral anatomy, nutrition and feeding, coral taxonomy, conservation, and much more.
Book of Coral Propagation: Reef Gardening for Aquarists，由Anthony Calfo
At one time or another, every reefkeeper gets the coral-propagation bug. Whether you just want to trade the occasional coral frag with fellow hobbyists, sell frags for cash or credit at your local fish store, or go all out and launch a full-blown coral farm, this book is a great place to start. Not to mention, the author’s writing style just makes for a fun read!
