Thanks for the great feedback!
We made our first (of an anticipated many) visits to Waves today. Joel was a pleasure to talk to.
I recently re-read my copy of volume one of Sprung and Delbeek's "The Reef Aquarium" from back in 1995. It was good for brushing up on chemistry, but they were still dissin' on bristle worms (I always hated to trap and remove them myself) and praising wet/dry so I thought that there might be a better source out there.
I have been reading the various forums (and especially viewing member tanks/setups), but as was mentioned there are so many divergent thoughts on the 'right' way to do things that it gets tiresome and confussing to read after a while. I thought perhaps a book would help avoid that and give me a good plan of action. I hope to make a PNWMAS meeting sometime and a possibly find myself a mentor. Right now we are still deciding on the where and what size questions for our tank. Have some great ideas rolling in our heads, but have yet to pull the trigger on one of them. In the meantime I just plan to re-educate myself in every way I can.
Again I appreciate the feedback and will probably snag a copy of Sprung and Delbeek's latest since I enjoyed the writing style of the first.
