Another mistake that I can think of right now are buying Acroporas when my water quality was poor. Wasted most of my livestock money on those by far. Also wasted money on various MH single bulb setups and pendants when in the end, the dual 150w HQI was the better choice for my system at the time. Last edited by Samw; 05-16-2011 at 07:02 PM.

For me it was buying a 28 Gal tank (with no sump and an HA problem). The rationale at the time was that it was small enough that if I totally screwed up, I couldn't kill as much as with a larger tank. While I've learned a lot from this tank, the biggest lesson was that 90 Gal -IMO- is the smallest tank a noob should get.
