This is my first ever saltwater tank, (I have had freshwater for over 7 years)and it's been
up and running for a little over a year with little or no difficulties. I went ahead with a reef first instead of just FO because I loved the look of corals and anemones. That, and I wanted a challenge....something *different*. So far this little (20 gallon) experement has totally ROCKED!! I have met so many neat, wonderful people it's hard to believe I didn't get into this hobby earlier! And not to mention how fun it is to spend hours and hours just looking at my beautiful piece of the ocean.
