The bookmark list of my web browser associated with reefkeeping has become well populated with links to articles written by some of the well-known names in reefkeeping. I thought it might be a good idea to share this information with you.
I will populate my reading list gradually and will include a link to this page in my signature. This reading list builds on the previous version, which is now defunct. I cannot expand it because of a software constraint on the number of characters that can be added to a single post. Unlike the first version, this new version has three pages allocated to the citation list, which should give me plenty of scope for future expansion.
I hope that you can find my reading list useful. Happy reading everyone.
