| the money isnt such a problem as the time consumed with maintenance and feeding...the financial key is to go slow...make sure things are working properly before you get something new, etc etc....no more purchases for me until sometime in sept...

| sure thing....pick up Fenner's "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist"...itll help ya get your feet wet and go from there....ive read that, ive read a book called "Marine Aquarium" which was pretty good...flipped through the "SW aquariums for dummies" and it was ok...you will find conflicting ideas everywhere, but fenner is great b/c he gives a perspective on the effect reefing has on nature as well so i would start there
the moral is: dont keep anything you arent pretty darn sure you can keep alive...and start slow cause you can kill lots of stuff and at the same time waste lots of money...and ask around here too...we are getting more members with good sw knowledge every day
