New to the forums, I was thinking of starting a saltwater tank. I have an established 20g planted freshwater tank at the moment.

Im just dropping by to say hi, I probably wont start a saltwater till I move so in a couple months, but I hope its sooner.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a marine fish encyclopedia. It would be even better if it had inverts, corals etc. It would help me alot with the aquarium and in school.

Try Scott W. Michael's books. The series isn't complete yet as far as I know, but these are the best books on fish that I've found.
HTH,

If you are thinking of keeping corals I would also recommend 'Aquarium Corals' by Eric Borneman. It has loads of info.
