Recommended reef/ocean chemistry book for chemists

[Newreeflady]

Hi, i'm a chemistry student and i'm interested in a reference for ocean chemistry that I can use as a resource for my aquarium keeping, etc. I'd prefer either a handbook or an older text that can be had cheaply (i'm a student.) I don't want a "reef chem for dummies" book.

Your suggestion would be appreciated,
thanks,
Angela.

One of the best chemical oceanography books is "Chemical Oceanogrpahy" by Frank Millero. I use it a lot.

How do the 2nd and 3rd edition compare? I think i'm going to go down to the library to take a look today. The 3rd isn't available for checkout yet, but the 2nd is.

Thanks!
Angela.

I've not seen the third. Hopefully it is good, but the second is what I've been using.
