Invert book ? and where to buy lux meters

2 questions for everyone-

1. What is the best aquarist reference for invertebrates? I'm leaning towards Calfo's Reef Invertebrates, but there's also Sprung's Invertebrates and Shimek's PocketExtert Guide to Marine Invertebrates.

2. For everyone who measures PAR and lux lighting parameters in their tanks, where did you buy your lux/PAR meters? Is there a reference matching PAR to coral species?

Thanks!

I have Calfo's Reef Invertebrates, although it's a nice overall book, I would probably go for Shimek's.

I have both Calfo & Fenner's and Sprung's invert books and much prefer the Calfo & Fenner volume. It has better, more in-depth coverage.
