Time out

I am sure I had my fair share of chuckles thrown my way when I started. It is a big transition going from FW to having a SW mentality. What this guy really needs is good advise (without hurt feelings) and some time to implement it. I always knew plastic plants don't belong in a SW aquarium but I just didn't like the way it looked so bare. I needed to see what other tanks looked like before I really got the message. If you want a good laugh here's a shot of my tank when I started. Complete with plastic plants, fake backdrop and plenty of cyano which at the time I thought was pretty neat.

I wanted fake corals when I 1st started so the tank wouldn't look bare, but knowing what I know now, I'm glad my boyfriend didn't let me.

I wish I had a picture of my first tank,It was fish only with 50 plastic plants.You couldnt get liverock when I started.When live rock came out I used to look at those people paying all that money for a chunk of rock and think how stupid they were.A friend of mine has a 3000 gal fish only with dried coral .It is awesome. How soon we forget so dont be so harsh on new people.You use to be one.It took guts for you people to post pictures with plastic plants in there tanks.I have seen very knowledgable reef people with good intensions talk to people thinking of starting a tank.They scare them to the point that they say i cant start a tank.I go up to those people after and say its not that hard you can do it.These people come up and thank me after.
