I am setting up a marine aquarium for the first time. Does anyone have any
advice and/or experiences to relate about marine aquariums and animals?

I have been keeping marine animals for a little over a year now;
I have one 55 gallon, one 29, and am planning to get a 150.  My 
general all-purpose advice is to get as many different books on
marine aquariums as you can and READ THEM ALL!!!!!  Almost every
author has a different opinion, and in many cases you just have
to decide what you think would be best.  Talking to *informed*
pet store owners helps too.  "Freshwater and Marine Aquariums"
magazine is also a good source of information.  If you have any
any questions I'd be glad to answer them by mail.
