Excellent forum for marine aquarists. Just stay away from the
advanced topics for now, you'll OD your brain. g

Also, can I recommend a book,

Successful Sal****er Hobbyists

Welcome to the obsession......Tell us about the tank you'll be
getting.

Keep posting!

Tank should be dropped round (hopefully not literally) tomorrows, seem
to remember when I saw it last, it was a reasonable size, bit will post
the CC when I get it..

Thanks for the links, and I'll have a scan on ebay/amazon for that book.

Cheers.
