I would say the books are a great starting point to give you the basic concepts. Once you have a grasp of the basics you can then ask questions and plan etc. Here are two books I suggest:

http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/...story%3a+CWBAB

http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/...s++marine%2527

The first is available at he Surrey public library so you could check your library for good books too.

+1 on the Conscientious Marine Aquariast; it's a very level-headed and responsible book. It's written for everyone; you don't need a PhD to understand it. It's no 'Dummies' book either though.
