Advice:
I read a book and decided to do Fish only because everything I read made coral and reef systems sound so hard and impossible - the fish only went so smooth I decided to turn it into a reef system - Im glad I did -Read but dont take it all to heart - you can ask 100 reef tank keepers the same question and get 90 different answers - You have to take it on your own and figure out what works best - there will be errors - but in the long run it will pay off - and you will fall in love with it.
Fish Kept:
(2) FoxFace - (3) Yellow Tangs - (1) Blue Hippo Tang - (2) Naso Tangs ( 1 is 13 inch Male with streamers) - (2) Tomato Clowns - (1) Vlamingi Tang - (4) cleaner Shrimp - (2) Fire Shrimp - (1) horseshoe crab - (3) Flame Scallops - and about 150 different snails and hermit crabs

Live today - worry about tomorrow - tomorrow
About Yourself:
Needed a hobby to keep me out of trouble - this sure did the trick - Im now either working on the tank or sitting down to enjoy it - I havent had my TV on in months

Setting up a new aquarium is an exercise in restraint that many hobbyists, both beginners and seasoned veterans, find difficult to master.
For decades, the gold standard of the home aquarium was a pristine, crystal-clear box of water, often decorated with neon gravel and plastic plants that bore little resemblance to the wild.
Bringing a slice of the underwater world into your home is a rewarding experience, but as the hobby grows, so does our responsibility to ensure that our passion doesn’t come at the expense of the environments we admire.
