[Skimmerking]

Well Welcome to Canreef and I hope you have seen something in this hobby like everyone has seen to get them to where they are at today. I am going to give you a few pointers if you don't mind. With everyone here on this board we all have something in common that is we love this hobby. We are all trying to keep a piece of the ocean in our tanks if we can. In order to keep some of these tanks you need lots of Time, Lots of money, lots of heart and what every one has is Lots of Reading. I think that i went almost 12 months of reading before i took the plunge in to salt water. Why, Because I didn't want to make the mistakes that everyone else ran into. but you will sooner or later cutting corners or lighting ,skimming ,Rock ,Salt, All I can tell you that you need to take you take which I see that you are doing. READ, READ, READ then price out what you see yourself with. Then price out what you see yourself buying. Then price out what you see yourself getting or that you can afford.

IMO/IME I think the best times on the net is looking at what equipment is cheapest on line. And seeing how much you can get it for

But at the end of the day we can't not tell you what to buy that is your own decision. We can give you excellent idea's and point you in the right direction hoping that you are going to follow our advice. So good luck and have a great hobby if you desire to start into it. Patience, patience is the key to this hobby and finding out who is getting out of the hobby so you can get their systems with great equipment and a wicked price too.
