Is "The Reef Aquarium" by Delbeek and Sprung a well trusted book I can rely on?

I went to the University library today and check out some books. Another include, "Aquatic Systems Engineering: Devices and how the function" by Escobal. Good book?

If you have heard anything about these books, and would like to give some insight to anything that pertains to these books, please do so.

Again...I am a beginner at this hobby, so I like to rely on trusted sources (reefcentral being one of them).

Thanks!!!

I looked at a book in the bookstore the other day and they were still advocating UGFs.

Charles and Julian both know their stuff. The book was written a few years ago but as a basis for keeping any kind of aquarium it's a darned fine read.

Well thats good to know. I guess I will be checking this book out from the TAMIU library for some months now.
