I own 2/3 of the above books, and still read and reference them frequently.

Forums are good, but are also full of fads. Equipment does change, but the books recognize that, and recommend finding out the newest and most efficient equipment available (and other than LEDs, not much has changed since those books were written, just different ways and brands doing the same things, though often more efficiently).

The principles, and the biology of the specimens, have not changed since those books were written. Often recent fads are re-hashes of old reefkeeping info from the 60s and 70s.
