A little background first.

Never had a fish before February of 2007. Was off from work for a couple weeks and purchased a 12 gallon Eclipse freshwater tank. Did the usuall thing I suppose and bought all the accessories including 7 fish and an armload of chemicals that I was told Id need. (OK I am embarassed)
Two weeks later I was convinced I needed a bigger tank and with my wifes consent purchased a 72 gal bowfront off Ebay. 3 days later I pulled into the driveway where my new 72 gal tank was. While loading the tank I asked the seller why he was selling such a new tank that had never been used. He smiled and said come inside. As he opend the door I didnt see one HUGE tank but TWO huge saltwater tanks. Thats all it took. I was now going to have a saltwater tank.
