| Advice: |
Do research, visit some people with reef aquariums, internet informaition, pics, emails to different hobbyist, videos on setups, read, ask questions if not sure, plan for the future(expansion of your corals and livestock) purchase what your tank needs, and don't try to cut corners especially with live stock and equipment like lights, skimmers, etc. Don't add what you don't test for, and do it from the heart, and not to impress. Respect the livestock and the livestock will reward you with their beauties. Careful water changes, and don't get too technical trying to make your tank automatic, otherwise you will rely on the equipment and never develope a relationship with your aquarium, and you won't notice when something is not right if you leave it up to the equipment. Pay attention, be patient, and respect LIFE!!!!!
Thanks to all who look and those who voted on this tank. Hopefully, anyone with an aquarium can be inspired by these beautiful life forms. As you can see, it is possible to maintain for prolong periods and counting. Please understand that in no way am I stating with my experiences with this aquarium that this is the only way or the best way. This is one way. Big or small, it will still require the disipline and careful planning, and initial expenses. All these tanks in this site have their beauty, and the people who have summitted their aquariums on this site, have their beauty in their hearts. Thanks the site owners for allowing us the priviledge to show and share our hearts on this wonderful site.
BLESS US ALL.....PEACE..... |

All these corals were doom to death in various pet stores here, and I love to purchase them with respect to their lives, and give them their chances to LIFE. Even if they are receeding, dying, one polyp wihcih no one notices, bleached corals, pieces missing, whatever the case, I will puchase them, and with respect to them and admiration, I will try all my heart and best to find them a home in my little world of LIFE...THANK YOU, THE MOST HIGH, FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CARE FOR YOUR CREATION.. |

| Advice: |
I find the most trouble with fish but certain corals have been tough as well. Just choose wisely and research your purchases before hand. Try and find a shop that you like and feel comfortable buying from. I hate shops that push items on you before even asking what you need. |
| Fish Kept: |
24 gal-2 red eyed cardinals, and a lion fish (fire). Naserith snails, hermits, black crab, and cleaner shrimp.

24 gallon nano, 70 watt light pod, built in fitration-pretty simple. This is the big sister tank to my 12 gallon nano. They are both live coral and fish aquariums.
Nano is simple and easy to maintain, my aquariums have done well over the last 2 yrs. I find the most trouble with fish but certain corals have been tough as well. |
