Well as many have said you need to slow down... fresh water is easy because most people don't over think it.... tank, water, fish... pretty easy. Ive noticed that there are alot of people who over think these salt water tanks at the start. Just worry about your temp, ph, and sg. I test for nitrates from time to time just to see, but I can usually tell from looking in the tank if somethings off. The old hammer coral shrivels up like George off Seinfeld. There is no need to panic... a small water change can have a big difference. Its basically the only thing I need to do to get the water parameters back into a good range. And remember Big Als is like a walmart, lots of stuff, some good some not so. But it is for the most part a one stop shop, I just tend not to talk to the staff lol. Over the next bit you will figure your tank out and have more confidence to deal with it.

Hehe, just you wait. I haven't found a tank yet but when I do, you can help me

And not to hijack the thread...
Myka, I'm sick and couldn't sleep so I read your 90g build last night (this morning ). The whole thread. Whew.
Glad to see you are sticking to it
I learned so much. Plus your links.
Thanks for your contributions
PS: it's your fault that I'm re-thinking a FOWLER with a 6 bulb t5...150w twin MH and LPS maybe
