Hello, I am going to be purchasing an 80G bowfront tank in a few months. I wanted to start purchasing the equipment now a few pieces at a time. I am going to have a FOWLR and run a sump. I'm not looking for anything too fancy like an automatic top of system or RODI unit. Just the basics...

Is a powder blue and a blue hippo the same?

Jason, I agree start with a good book. Let the tank cycle while you read your new book. I just purchased The Conscientious Marine Aquarist looks to be a great book, full of information.... Over 400 Pages full. If you aren’t looking to read something that big yet, I suggest The New Marine...

Thank You all so much for the suggestions!

I am interested in finding out all the information I can before jumping into any purchases. I have learned a ton on SWF.Com and plan to learn a lot more on here but I was wondering what the best book for beginners would be? I haven't even decided if I’m going to do FO, FOWLR or a full reef...
