Thanks guy's. Appreciate the responses.
A few notes:
* I made sure not to use any soap when I cleaned the tank. Just tap water and lots (lots!) of elbow grease.
* I'm definitely going the freshwater route. I might try something more challenging if I really get into aquarium keeping, but for now easy to manage is OK by me.
* I'm interested in going for a natural looking setup. I don't want a plastic scuba diver or bubbling skull in the tank -- not my thing. Can you add lava rock and drift wood? Do they have to be sterilized first? or is a good washing (like the tank) going to do the trick?
* I'll certainly go the book route. I've got a $50 Chapters gift certificate at home that will come in handy...
