Looking for brackish tank info.

[brackishwannbe]

I have a 75G tank that will be setup as brackish and would like to know if there are any good books on the subject. I have not been able find any.
I new to this hobby, but I spent several months doing research on freshwater tanks before I setup the tanks that I have now. I've become addicted to the brackish system and am eager to setup my tank, but I want to be well knowledgeable in the subject, so I don't kill off fish needlessly or waste money. Any help would be appreciated.

The sites are great! I now have two binders full of printed brackish info. I'll be getting my tank setup the beginning of Feb, I can't wait!!

Don't forget to fishless cycle your tank 1st! That way you can add a lot more fish when you're ready.

realizing you asked for brackish *books*...

There are currently no books in print that focus exclusively on brackish aquaria.

Best you'll find is a chapter or so in some of the general aquaria books.


However, the sites mentioned above have more than enough info to get you started.
