Hey Trea,

I am a newbie as well, and I just want to tell you that this is the best place to come for advice. I have been a member for about a week or so, and I have learned more form these guys, than I have from my LFS and my own experience. These guys have been there and learned from their mistakes, and they give us advice so we do not make the same mistakes. Keep posting questions and I promise you, you will learn so much. Also, one thing I did learn from them, is a protein skimmer is very important and you dont want to go cheap on this. Ditch the seaclone and get something better. Good luck!

It has been a year since I posted a picture of my first tank. I had a few deaths over the months, but I think I definitely have learned a lot through reading and various forums. Here are some updated pictures.
