Total newbie - source recomendations

[Cornflakegrl]

Hello,
I know very very little about marine tanks, and I would love to learn. Does anyone have any recomendations for books or websites that break it down nice and easy? I've been messing with freshwater for over 10 years and I used to breed bettas, but like I said, salt is totally new for me. I've started reading The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Fenner.
Thanks.

I bought 'What Fish? A buyers guide to marine fish' and it is excellent. It gives details on lots of fish including how much you should expect to pay, what size and type of tank is required, how easy they are to feed and keep and much more - the only bad thing about the book is it makes me want a bigger tank so I can get more fish! I also bought the mini encyclopdia - The marine aquarium which was helpful with the setting up of the actual tank.
I'm a newbie too, my tank has been up 2 weeks and I added my clean up crew yesterday - so far so good with the help of the guys on here. Good Luck!

GOD IDEA!! That actually took a while to but in understandable terms for the new guys whitout scareing tham off. Wanted lots of info, but at the same time didn't want to make salt seem hard, cause once you learn a little it's not!!!
