Hey there folks.. I'm new to this hobby and have been reading these boards for the past week or so.. while also perusing many other sites and visiting some local stores. I'm trying to keep from doing anything wrong to start.. any suggestions on good books listing everything I need to do to have a nice FOWLR tank going? Planning on around a 40-50 gallon tank.. since I live upstairs in an apartment.. I'm afraid to go too much bigger than that..
Any other helpful hints or suggestions would be welcome as well :)

The new marine aquarium--by paletta, good book there are bunch though, plan on buying a light thats good, you will want to do soft corals when you get going, and read the sticky at the top of the forum!

I second that! Don't buy a skilter or visijet either.
