Thanks for the info.<BR>I'm leaning strongly toward a reef aquarium, probably between 60 and 100 gallons.Sat, 07 Apr 2012 08:48:30 GMTtdeardeuffhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic233330-25-1.aspxI think the best course of action is to decide on what you want to keep in a SW setup. I personelly have read maybe 4 books on SW and The Dummies book was one of them. I would have to say 90% of my SW knowledge has come from researching on the internet.Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:17:25 GMTKatorinhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic233330-25-1.aspxOk. So like most others on here I am a newbie to saltwater. I am very experienced with freshwater though. I am not looking to set up a saltwater tank yet because of the cost but I wanted to do more research on a fish only tank and a reef tank. I won't ask for advice (unless you want to give it) but can you tell me your favorite books on the subject of setting up different types of saltwater tanks? I already know all about cycling, filters, refugiums, mixing saltwater, protein skimmers, etc. I tried reading Saltwater Aquariums for Dummies but I already knew 80% of what was in it. I just need a book for an advanced hobbyist that will fill me in on what I am missing. Suggestions? Thanks.Wed, 04 Apr 2012 19:15:12 GMTtdeardeuff
