Clownfishes by Joyce D. Wilkerson
Natural Reef Aquariums by John H. Tullock
The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium by Svein A. Fossa and Alf Jacob Nilsen

Clownfishes is great for breeding information on clowns.
The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium is a good source for all those water chemistry questions.
The Book of the Marine Aquarium by Dakin on Scott's list is not a great book in regard to aquarium set up, but has a lot of quality information about fish, orgainized by types.

The other day while in the middle of some hot debate one of our own RB members said in deffense of a statement he had made"well that what I learned right here on rb,and thats where I got everything I know".And another of our stalwart members when asked his source for a rather silly comment said I am the source I dont need to read"as if he already knew it all.At least the first guy is trying,the second,well what can I say.I dont think you should be allowed to buy a fish without reading "the Conscentious Aquarist" or "the Reef Aquarium vol.1-3.
