cant belive everything you see on TV man, just trying to save you some time money and aggrivation. we arent "gods" but the average marine system costs in the thousands a good skimmer which is the most important thing youll buy 500-1000.00, so we tend to take this hobby pretty seriously. the more people involved in this hobby the more knowledge we can share with eachother. there is still so much not known about marine aquaria, thats what makes it so fascinating and rewarding. the more solid and high quality foundation you build today the less youll have to spend tommorow fixing mistakes. good luck with your new tank! keep us all posted as you build. there is alot of very imformative people on canreef that can help you make your tank a sucess!
