I currently have a freshwater tank, but I'd like to move up to a 40-60 gallon saltwater tank within the next 6 months or so. I've found the best way to research something is slowly, over a long period of time, as to get many different points of view, and let the information settle.
I've been trying to find out as much as I can about saltwater tanks online, but find that many sites include knowledge that is already over my head. I'd just like to learn about what type of tanks I can choose from, equipment I'll need, maintenance required, etc. Live rock? Live sand? Coral? I don't know much about any of these. Filtration?
Specific fish are irrelevant at this point, as I need to learn about creating a saltwater environment in the first place before I start thinking about fish.
Anyone have any good recommendations on where I should start reading? I checked out the "recommended reading" threads, but several links were down, and I feel like I've learned so much about freshwater tanks through online research rather than buying books, that the same kind of info must be available for saltwater as well.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!
