| Advice: |
Plan and read. Buy used equipment its so much cheaper, you can save over half, and trading is fun too. My brother bought 100 lbs of live rock used for $100 bucks for example. Anyway know what you want to do with your tank, thats important. Do you want just a display tank, do you want to grow corals and sell em, you prefer softies, stonies, anemones, lots of fish. What you like is how you should plan your tank. Good luck, and welcome to the addiction that has no cure.
TY to all the good peeps @ www.sdreefs.com for help & support on the tank! |

| Advice: |
Be Patient and do not cut short when buying equipment. Make sure you have plenty of filtration and live rock. Making your own rock at home saves a lot of money and aggravation in trying to keep algae down. I have also had more luck keeping my temp. at around 82 degrees F. My corals get larger and also multiply much faster at this temperature. |

Take it slow! Get on a good reef froum and read, learn, ask, and read some more. There will be up's and down's in this hobby, but it is worth it. Make sure you price check on your equipment. Usually the net is so much cheaper. |
