NACL & H2O is all I Know but i need Mo.

Is there a place here where some with no chemistry background can catch the basics or at least enough to have a healthy tank?
I can have all of the tests and gadgets for getting readings but still need to learn what these readings mean and what to do with them .
Thanks

Read the stickies up top of the forum and you should be fine.
