I would like to see them but my work and personal life schedule have been getting in the way and because I work shift and days off change every week gets a lil more challenging

I work with Shaun and he was the dope that got me into this and he gave me lots of literature which helped immensely and I did lots of reading on the net and getting keyboard face and tried not to ask the same questions as every other person has
and unfortunately have had a rough start temp hand paralylis, partial tank kill,PITA cats and a few other things but the good news or sad news depending on how look at it is I'm hooked on SW

As I said I joined several forum sites to learn and before canreef I was on reef central and American Aquarists(that site is now down) and both flamed nano systems a lot then I joined Canreef and nano-reef both have helped me lots but found nano-reef to be very american do it my way or else still visit but never post

Aye and very impressive to boot only wish my tank could look half as impressive but for a first time setup I think I've done ok but I am probably going to be upgrading soonish to a 90 gallon and a whole new learning experience sumps/plumbing,overflows, new gadgets and tons of crying over an empty wallet
