A case for a wiki

[RuGlu6]

This is great idea.
Why not organize existing "sticky" notes in to a local Reef Wiki?
Collective knowledge is best way to progress this hobby in to the future.
How many times we read questions from people new to the hobby about all the basics? Time after time and time again.

The one obstacle would be a difference in opinions: Best skimmer, deep sand bed or BB, Built in overflow or hang on and so on.
Nevertheless the idea is wonderful.

We could write on all things without necessarily passing judgement on them...

For example:

mh > t5 > led

But we'd just write on each and not actually spell this out on the wiki

Good point, there is a lot of great info in the stickies and reference library subforum. A non-Canadian-specific wiki seemed appropriate because there are many other reef/freshwater forums that could use and contribute to this body of knowledge.

Yes, absolutely.

I think this is where forum and wikis compliment each other. The wiki can describe the options available (mh, t5, led) along with pros and cons while forums can give specific product advice.
