Fire away.

1) Watch for obsessive thinking to creep into your everyday thoughts, if you have a wife/husband sensitive to run away spending have them watch for early warning signs and to intervene ...

2) Wait and then wait even longer for the tank to cycle before you put anythng in. If item one starts at this stage you are in trouble.

3) Listen to people here to solve problems for you, not really a trick unless you are bull headed lol....but if your prone to run away spending heed the advice.

My advise would be to select fish carefully. One day corals will come into play and if at that point you have a tank full of coral munchers it will limit what you could put in. If you are set on FO a six foot tank would be better suited
