hi---
I`m as new as you are. The people on this newsgroup have been great.
The guys at Marine Depot made sure I read ""Natural Reef Aquariums" by John
Tullock before I bought ANYTHING.
It really made me feel more comfortable about jumping into the Salt Water
thang. I was lucky---they had it at my Public Library.
To be honest---there`s almost TOO MUCH info out there---
but heres some places I found:

This site has just about everything in easy-to-read,step-by-step sections.
They will even send you a "Sal****er 101" daily lesson if you give them your
email address:
http://saltaquarium.about.com/

Another good Forum site:
http://www.aquariumadvice.com/index....8a851906513476

These people are conservationist reef-keepers. They are proponents of making
your own Rock instead of harvesting it from the sea. There is a lot of real
interesting info he. they also sell live critter packages. They sound
like real experts:

Hello,

I have wanted to do sal****er for a couple of years. After a recent
promotion I think I might actually be able to afford it. I was hoping to
get some ideas. I have an available 39 Gallon tank (Same footprint as a
29
just taller). I would like to use what I have simply because I want to
see
how this goes before I sink to much money into it.

What I am thinking of doing is using the current tank to start out then
moving up in size when money permits. I would like to go to 90 or 120
then
I could use the current tank as a sump. I would love to hear suggestions
on
the best way to go. Also your opinions of my "master plan" would be
appreciated. The only other specific that i would like to address is
wether
my biowheel filtration will be enough.

Please list sites that would be good for doing some research on.

THANKS!!

James
