Advice:
Start small.
Description:
It's an 80 gallon flat bed tank we got from a shop that they had gotten custom. About 100 lbs of liverock and a homemade sump w UV but W/O protein skimmer. It's pretty much self contained, we just put in additives and some frozen shrimp and do rare water changes to avoid build up of stuff from evaporation. Sea horses, a pipe fish, an abundance of inverts, and more, we even have a population of about 30 little snails that were born in the tank.196 watts o' light. Sorry it's just a close up cropped picture, and not a full tank shot.

Why can't this be my job?
About Yourself:
Always have been around aquariums. Bred guppies and collected creatures in the saltwater flats here with my family growing up. Later, enjoyed African Cichlids.
Once I found out that you can have a reef tank that does not involve the destruction of our beautiful real coral reefs, I jumped right in! (Pun intended)
Fish Kept:
Too many.. Mostly freshwater.
Corals/Plants:
A lot. I'll get back to this.
Tank Size:
47 gallons
Advice:
Keep it simple. do not overfeed, and change your water frequently! Secondly, waterflow and lighting are important!
Description:
This is my tank. 47 Gallon Pentagon. 70 lbs of Live rock, aquacultured. 50lbs crushed coral substrate. Several various marine-bred and aquacultured corals. 134 Watts of Compact lighting. Penguin Bio Filter, Wet/dry, Protein skimmer, 2 powerheads on wave device. -Growing for approx 3 years.

Advice:
Be patient, very patient, when starting up a saltwater tank. I was impatient and suffered some headaches that probably could have been avoided had I been more patient.
Research!! Research what you are doing BEFORE you start. I didn't and there again suffered some issues that probably could have been easiyl avoided.
