Rookie seeking advice on marine references

+1 on "The Conscientious Aquarist" by Robert Fenner.

The following sites are excellent.
www.wetwebmedia.com
www.reefkeeping.com
and
www.advancedaquarist.com

It is great that you are reading up before you invest in equipment and buy livestock.
You will also get the best advice on this board.

Thanks for all your help. Looks like you've all given me a great start. I figured it would be best to gain a bit more background before I even begin to ask specific questions. What I'd read so far seemed over the top technical and expensive as hell. It just didn't make sense for a first set up. Like the many freshwater aquarists who've helped me in the past, I'm thinking you folks should be able to steer me towards the indestructible set-up of the marine world. I really appreciate the advice. After some eye strain I'll be back soon with plenty o' questions.

Thanks again,

Dean

My favorite page on the internet for my salt hobby!
Randy Holmes Farley's page of links for his and other articles with regards to salt water chemistry.
