Hello,
20 years ago I had a saltwater tank and felt I was knowledgable and successful because I could keep fish alive in a tank. After being out of the hobby for this long the wife and I got the bug to have another tank after seeing so many pictures of the success people were having with reef tanks. So we bought a 75 gal tank off craigslist and started researching. Thought we got a great deal because it had a light, skimmer, pumps, etc. Then we started to do some indepth research. New protein skimmer, powerheads, put together a sump, considering L.E.D.'s, got a great deal on some Live rock (from a very informative member of MASC), sand, and lots of testing. Been at it for over a month and the numbers are looking good and think I am close to putting something in to look at besides feather dusters and a peanut worm that came with the rock. Hope to attend the meeting this month because this appears to be a great group that enjoys sharing thei knowledge and helping us newbies.
This could get really adicting.
