Hey guys,
I'm thinking about getting into SW tanks and wanted some literature recommendations for a SW newbie. I try to read on here as much as I can and that has given me great insight. But a lot of the abbreviations and such are lost on me. Can anyone recommend some good modern books to purchase? I would like to inform myself as much as possible. I still don't know if I will be going fish only or building a reef tank.

I really got a lot out of "the Simple Guide to Marine Aquariums" by Jeffery Kurtz.

Also good books when it comes to choosing what you'll stock your tank with.

I've not read that one but I have heard some really odd quotes from it given by members here. It sounds questionable based on that.

Thanks for the responses :-) I'm sure I'll have tons of questions for all of you shortly and hopefully a tank progress thread one day.
