Books on SW
- Thread starter houston
- Start date
Well I understand FW through and through. SW I am completely new at. I've read posts about skimmers and live rock or live sand and letting the tank set for some time to setup.
So I guess I am looking for a goto book to read to give me the basics I should know before I start my first SW tank. I used to have a favorite FW book that I've lost in the several moves I've made over the years (I really miss that book) I think it was called "the complete guide to freshwater"... I think it had a picture of a gourami on the front and it wasn't very thick but it was to the point and accurate. I guess I am looking for the same thing, but for SW tanks.
