Rookie seeking advice on marine references

[Aguabonita]

Thanks for all your help. Looks like you've all given me a great start. I figured it would be best to gain a bit more background before I even begin to ask specific questions. What I'd read so far seemed over the top technical and expensive as hell. It just didn't make sense for a first set up. Like the many freshwater aquarists who've helped me in the past, I'm thinking you folks should be able to steer me towards the indestructible set-up of the marine world. I really appreciate the advice. After some eye strain I'll be back soon with plenty o' questions.

Thanks again,

Dean
