interested in the SW world

[talphik]

i am interested in starting a sw tank, and figured that starting small was the best way to start.

what should i be doing to educate myself in this new world and is this the right place to start?

thanks

Medium is the place to start. Small is too hard, too limiting.

Lots of reading, and then some more. Conscientious Marine Aquarium by Robert Fenner, New MArine Aquarium by Mike Paletta are good starters. Don't buy anything before these.

it is easier to start in the medium range because if you go to small then if your tank catches some desease or something it spreads so fast that there would be no time to stop it but if the tank is larger you have time to stop it

and do a lot of reaserch

Start with at least 30 gallons. As recommended before, get The New Marine Aquarium by Mike Paletta. Also start with live rock, and a good protein skimmer.

30g is still a bit small...i'd go with a 55g minimum...
