Boards like this one are great; lots of info and very current. However, one must also take what is said with a grain of salt, measure and evaluate that information, before making their own decision about how to do things. In addition to reading through boards, there are some excellent written resources out there as well. Spent a little time putting together a list (in no particular order) from several different threads of recommended books. If you have any others you would recommend, please add to the list.

Randy so as to be perfectly clear as to your suggestion is that a grain of salt measured by a hydrometer or a refractometer

Before I ever started my first tank (130 gallon) I spent 2 months researching and reading EVERYTHING I could find. I must say SWF.com was where I researched the MAJORITY of my info.I had read the Conscientious Reef Aquarist also ..and at the end of 2 months I figured I had enough info as to jump into the hobby with both feet, and I have been very successful. I believe this is due to research/reading.You will NEVER know "to much" about this hobby.

It should be mass spectrometry. That way you can determine how much bull ____ is contaminating the sample.
