My condolences in getting involved this hobby. Prepare yourself for the inevitable mental and verbal battles with yourself, your spouse, your fish, corals, cleaning crew.... yes one day you will find yourself yelling at your tank... Not to mention the light headed experiences of looking at visa statements, dealing with DOA shipments and wondering why that fish you just bought lasted less than 24 hrs. Don't get me wrong there will be the time when your tank will look awesome!! just the way you pictured it....thats about a two day window....Reality sucks... pass the valium, have a good day.

it actually doesnt look bad if you dont count the huge 6" gash....or the red blotches all over my arm...or the chemical burn that kept me up all night...or the tightness when the glue dried....or the


ok it is that bad lol:)

Welcome!

Nothing is cooler than having a little slice of the ocean in your house, and a 90 gallon is a great place to start!

Just remember, you don't NEED that 130 dollar psychedelic open brain, you in fact just really really want it. It will become very hard to tell the difference though.

lol oh man, sounds like there are some serious stories to come out!! Thanks for the warm welcome.
