Clarky, before I started my saltwater tank I read a good book you might consider to grab at the library.

It has pretty much all the basics in it.

Here´s the link to amazon.com: The Simple Guide to Marine Aquariums

It´s by far not enough considering the different water parameters but it covers all the rest.

The book is ok but there might be better ones out there

Probably, I had quite a few to read and took the best out of all of them.

I think this one is good, too:
