Default Any Decent Book out there?

Can anyone recommend a good book to help me with deciding which equipment to go with. Something that will explain in detail the different types of equipment and their uses. I guess I could prob. use a web site instead, seems like books are almost obsolete now. I just want to know the best and most efficient way to set my new salt water tank.

the saltwater guide for dummies is a must have. While not talking about specific brands it does go over equipment. I highly recommend this book.
