I have only done freshwater fish, but I would like to purchase a good book on saltwater. I want to read up before I make the jump, just to be sure that I have the time, money, and ability to take care of a saltwater tank.

I recently purchased The Conscientious Marine Aquarist but I would like your opinions on what book(s) are good.

Also, I have a spare 29g tank that I would like to use as my first saltwater tank. What are your thoughts on a tank that size if I just want a clownfish (or two) or some damsels?

Thanks!

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyists (http://www.amazon.com/Conscientious-Marine-Aquarist-Commonsense-Successful/dp/1890087025) is one of the best IMO.

Oops, you must have edited your original post as I was posting.. I swear you didn't have that book listed the first time I read it. ;)
