It's definitely a lot to learn and there is so much information out there. This forum is excellent and will help a great deal. Some things that work for some, may not work for you but trial and error.... you will learn a lot about marine life and in time, you will have a beautiful tank to enjoy.Yeah ive loved this whole process so far. Its crazy even though i have no fish or inverts in the tank there is still so much more life in the tank to watch and observe.
