Back into reef keeping

[rrichpeters]

Hi everyone!
I want to get back into reef keeping again after ten+ years of being out of it. So much has changed and I figured in addition to a good forum, I would see if anyone knows of a reef "club" in the greater Phoenix,Az. area that I could get involved with.
Thanks...Rich

Hi Rich,
Welcome back to the hobby!
Much has changed over the years and lots of new information. I would highly recommend 2 books as a start to upgrade your library:
Aquarium Coralsby Eric Borneman and The Conscientious Marine Aquaristby Robert Fenner. There are many more but IMHO, these two, especially Eric's book, are very good.

Thanks for the suggestions Dick. I remember being really into Julian Sprung and also a book I had by "Moe" I believe? But I don't know if they are still involved, or if the methods they preached are still in use. I'm sure if they are still around, they too have evolved. And I will definately look into your suggestions. I would still like to get involved in a club if possible if anyone knows of one in my area.
Thanks again...Rich
