I'm looking for a good and reliable book that is about keeping a saltwater aquarium. I want to make sure that I understand as much as possible before I go out and purchase anything.
What is a good book to read for a newbie?

I think the best book for a Marine beginner and even those much more experienced is Bob Fenner's "The Conscientious Marine Aqaurist".
I have been in the hobby for 4 years and just started reading this book a few days ago and find it to be an excellent read. Well worth the $35.

What about "Saltwater Aquariums for Dummies"? Would that be a good book to read for a beginner like myself?
Its not a bad book to get, if yours is the same as what we have here in the UK....Its actually had some good reviews here...
However, you cant beat " Bob Fenner's "The Conscientious Marine Aqaurist "....
Yes yes yes, i know its a plug, but, its a great book for any aquarist to have...

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Got to agree with the others "The Conscientious Marine Aqaurist". Fantastic book with loads of good information.
I'm not a huge fan of it. I think it's way too general. I read that when I first started and I cringe at the things I did because the book had it in there as being appropriate and good husbandry.
