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. |

| About Yourself: |
Bit by the saltwater bug! |
| Advice: |
The bigger and longer the tank the better. Good water flow is a must in order to eliminate dead spots. A deep sand bed (minimum 4") as well as good live rock and a powerfull skimmer can help keep nitrates at 0 PPM, and water changes to a minimum. A properly set up refugium with Macro Algae can also aid with excess nutrients. Read all marine keeping books, especially "The Reef Aquarium" Vol 1, 2, and 3. Last but not least, Dont shy away from this hobby on the first signs of trouble. Marine aquarium keeping gets easier and easier as the tank matures. If trouble arises, internet forums can be of great help when questions need answering. |
