First, I just want to say that this might be a good thread to sticky if the feedback is good enough to warrant a sticky.
My question is: Are there any books or on-line "tutorials" about starting a salt water fish/coral tank?
I'm really interested in starting a small tank for 2 or 3 small marine fish, but I don't want to start out completely on my own. When I start anything, such as my geology projects, beadsmithing, and woodworking I always did my research. With this adventure I'm having a problem finding sound resources or books that I can learn from. Also, I want to do twice as much reading and research as I would normally with any of my other projects, not being of the expense, but because I'm dealing with living creatures.
So, any references be it in books, online or magazines, please feel free to post them! (Also, including references on corals, parasites, and what not as well would be helpful. I really enjoyed my suitemate's tank so I plan on starting my own, and knowing everything marine life would be helpful.)
