Since Albert mentioned me I'll chime in here. I would consider this link my somewhat successful story how ever humble.

If you are serious about the hobby jump in with both feet, you'll love it.

Been reefing for a year and 1/2 and I love it! Even with the few dumb mistakes I've made along the way it's all been so worth it

Since 2002.

I really can't see how anything in the tank itself would drive me out of the hobby. There's ups and downs but anything negative can be overcome.

I could though see things not related to SW to cause me to quit.

I had mine going from 99 till last year. didn't realy get out of the hobby becayse of problems, more rather I was bored with it and was changing my life style to spend more time gone in the summers. the maintance on a salt water tank wouldn't allow me to do this so I am back to 3 fresh water tanks. well the kids have 2 and I have 1, but I am thinking of doing a monster planted fresh water, 250 to 300 gal. just not sure when, but if a tank comes up for the right price......

I know there will be a lot of challenges. But I need to hear that it's worth it, and what lies ahead of me is more than just frustration, desperation and hopeless surrender. Are there people out there who have stuck with the hobby for years and have maintained and enjoyed healthy tanks? I need to hear from you!
Chin Lee's are the best reef tanks i have ever seen localy!
