when you're racing keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down. |
| About Yourself: |
Always wanted saltwater fish so I started out with some live rock, and got some fish. After looking at sites on the internet that supply corals decided I was going to start a reef. And the addiction started with the purchase of my first coral. |
| Advice: |
Being a newby to the hobby I can't give a whole lot of advice. Just save you're money and buy good equipment the first time, and do lot's of research before buying. Oh and be patient from what I've been told reef-building is a slow proccess. |
