fakegoldfish, hi: welcome to maast. just ask any ? . this a great bunch of gals and guys that will help you with any ? or problem that you might have. if you have'nt bought a tank yet buy the biggest you can aford. if you live in SA go to aquatic wharhouse or alamo aquatics, cb pets and texas tropical. you should find everything you need there.

I'd start witha little book called: Conscientious Marine Aquarist, by Fenner. You can also check out:

I'd also recommend "The Coral Reef Aquarium" by Ron Shimek. Perfect for the beginner.

WELCOME to maast!

Natural Reef Aquariums by Tullock is also good. There will always be more you don't know, so never hesitate to ask.. Also, everyone here is pretty generous with their knowledge.
