carym is looking at reefs
Default Re: How did you discover reef keeping?

I have always had freshwater tanks and always wanted a Saltwater because of the viberant colors and the continue movement of the corals.

Done Differently or lessons Learned:
You can start small but as you grow buy the appropriate size for your end goal, I spent way to much money re-buying things just to buy bigger later.

Never use crushed coral/sand mix as your substrate you will hate it later, well maybe that is personal preference but I wish I wouldn't have been cheap thinking oh I can start with crushed coral and mix in sand and get what I want....

I agree join a local club, they are great, cheap corals and great advice... best thing that could happen..

Reefbuilders....Always differing opinions that may or may not be right but if we didn't have them this hobby would be way to easy and everyone would be doing it and we couldn't brag anymore...
