Do it, do it right, do it right the first time. |
| About Yourself: |
FWater Fish keeping for 9 years. Jumped into reef and been at it for 1 year. Student in university. Struggle struggle! |
| Advice: |
Stop spreading money around on several tanks. Stick to 1 display + a smaller tank to fool around and experiment.
Buy good equipment at first and get rocks and AQUASCAPE it in the way you like the first time. Do it right. Once it has been aquascaped (one of those nice aquascapes you never want to tear down), add your corals accordingly. Do not adjust the aquascape to FIT your corals. By aquascaping first, you allocate the space available for certain corals. You give yourself restrictions and these restrictions (with careful planning) will lead to a nicely designed tank. If you ever want to aquascape... just go out and buy a coral.. its better for you! |

Sometimes you have to cross the valleys to reach the top of the mountain |
| 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. |
