The point is to give basic information,so that when people come to a site like this they arent lost in the thousands of different opinions. You and I know enough to make our own informed decisions on what advice is good and bad,but a beginner doesnt. Just like I did'nt when I came here,like I'm sure you did'nt either. These sites can be very intimidating

Feel free to set up whatever info site you wish but in reference to a site like this, Christy put in many long hours on our superb reference library. Just thought I would add that in.

The one thing I have learnt over the last year, is that there is no right way to set up a tank. When a beginner, like me, starts to do research on sites like canreef, it's the first thing they discover. I believe it then forces them to do more research and make their own informed choices and choose the "right" way for them.

I'm sure that there are alot of people that think that Eric Borneman has the right way of doing things, but sometimes I disagree with him and sometimes I agree with him.

some of the stuff with FOWLR stating tha you dont need a protein skimmer I would say tha tyou would have to go with one. ALot of people will keep a huge tank and have a FOWLR and think that is great when you get into the fish tha lot s of newbie's want to keep they tend to lend towards the aggressive ones and feed heavy and then the water goes for a crap fish are dying. see what I'm talking about. not to get under your skin just pointing out a few things that you may want to cncider revising. with a FOLWR I would strongly put in there to get a protein skimmer that is all..

the site looks realy great by the way keep up the great work.. looking forward to other great things tha you have to offer.
