I wanted to get into SW tanks after I watched "Finding Nemo" with my children. I went to my LFS to ask as many questions as possible and sites like this one to get all the information I could possibly get. The hardest part about getting started was deciding what size tank to buy, the investment it takes, and waiting waiting waiting waiting & waiting for the tank to cycle. If I started all over again, as I soon will with a much larger tank, I would have been more patient before buying any fish. I lost over $100 to fish disease and bad water parameters. I purchased fish after the first 4 weeks thinking the tank was cycled and the tank wasn't ready. I also had a bad ich outbreak and lost a few fish.
There is so much I have learned from Reef Builders. There is a plethora of information here and many great people eager to help. Thanks everyone!
