It is only $30.00 and will save you a ton of $ in the long run.

You really need to take a step back and do some reading. You are coming at Salt Water with an understanding of Freshwater and that can be dangerous

If you love that book and have a few more $ to spare, then read the following.

The Reef Aquarium Volume 3
http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=lit-tra3

ya the ''Concientious Marine Aquarist'' is a great book, packed with useful info, read it front to back, focuses on every aspect you need to know

I hear so many people saying sps is difficult to keep, I disagree. What is so hard about keeping sps? Keeping anything in a 5 gallon is tough not just sps, there's no wiggle room. A little evap and the salinity is through the roof. I think sps has a reputation for being expensive but it isn't too bad compared to some zoos, rics, duncans, acans, etc.

Just trying to help

I've wasted so much money on crap equipment and dead fish and corals if I can help someone keep even a few dollars in their wallet that makes me happy

Do what? And if "what" means "answering this guy's questions"...then why wouldn't we?

hmm k, when doing water changes is there something I should be adding to the water? Cuz the water I get doesn't contain that many dissolved minerals, elements etc.

Your salt water mix will give you most of what you need. Depending on what coral/livestock you end up keeping you may need to add suplimental calcium, iodine etc etc.

Before you go any further, I suggest you follow the advice that many people here have already given. Do your research. Here is also a good place to start.
