Sorry people, I couldnt resist this one.
Saw a saltwater tank and then thought I wanted one.
Somehow by accident found RB on the net.
Trying to figure out who gave the correct advice was the hardest part getting started.
Done differently? Not enough time or space for that but heres a few things:
*I would have used less LR. As for my 90 gal 2lbs per gal takes up so much room it limits space for corals and fish
*I would plan a system with no power heads but 2 closed loops with the pumps located under the tank and not in the tank
*I would have planned LR placement and coral placement much better, however this is just an experience thing and is always changing based on observation.
*I would seek out a mentor with a proven track record that was available on a personal level. Like a JV Sanjay thing.
*I would have joined a local club much sooner and met other people in the hobby. Just a tremendous asset to meet and take part in activities with others that share the same passion as you.
Learned from RB? Well, a lot. See above.
