Default Reef Researching at Outlet Websites. DON'T

Didn't quite know which forum to put this one in, so lounge it is.

So after re-instating the 110 gallon as a reef tank, I was thinking a tang or 2 might be in the future. "Which one?" I wondered. Well I'll just google and look around.

I was looking at power brown for a candidate and came up with this:
http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/tangs/powderbrowntang

And this:
http://www.marinedepotlive.com/powde...sh--tangs.html

As only 2 examples of the varying diversity on how oultets promote and endorse certain fish and livestock for home aquaria. I know which of the above is more accurate, but I'll let you figure it out.

This is not to say I do my reef research on outlet webpages, but thought it would be an eye opener for some newcomers to the hobby, as I was quite shocked by the complete "differance of opinions" such as the above

Do your research at non outlet websites. I won't name names but there are more than a few that are more concerned with keeping these treasures alive than making a buck or 2.
