Ok, I just bought my first S/W tank this week. It is a 75 Gal. I have been doing research for about 3 months prior to buying the tank. Durring my vacation this week I used Citysearch.com and found 37 Pet stores between Richmond Houston Spring Sealy and Austin. I visited EVERY one. It took 5 days to hit them all. Of the Houston stores, I only found 4 that I will return to, out of a total of 19 fish stores.
I am serious about doing this right, and getting only stuff that will not put my fish in any danger, but information is hard to find. I have bout about $100 in books in the past month or so, and read each of them from front to back, and still need more information.
Anyone having good information links please post them here.
I want to get as much information on Cycling and set-up as possible for right now. I want to start cycling this weekend. Any other information that can be offered will be much appreciated.
Also, I have found much debate on Temp and Salinity. I would love to hear what everyone is using so that I may have a better idea of what I will use.

EDIT: LMAO I just saw your scrolling sponsor list. The stores in Houston that I will return to are all listed on sponsor pages. I was VERY impressed with Darrell Pierce at Village Tropical, and the cleanliness and knowledge I found at both Village and Planet Fish.
