Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said

About Yourself:
I started with a 29 tall which was a disaster size, moved to a 40 breeder which was great but not reef ready, and then acquired my current tank, a 58 gallon center overflow by Oceanic.
Fish Kept:
1 True Percula clown, 1 Coral Beauty Angelfish, 1 Coral Goby, 1 Yasha Hase Goby with Pistol Shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
SPS, Montis, T. Maxima, T. Crocea, T. Derasa, T. Squamosa, various LPS, etc.
Tank Size:
58 gallons
Advice:
Drill your tank for a sump, it will make your life so much easier in all aspects, being forced to use HOB things only makes more work; get the biggest skimmer you can, I don't think you can overskim a reef tank; perform water changes twice as many times as you think necessary, water changes are the best thing you can do for the health of your system; use proper lighting and leave room for upgrades down the road, test your levels weekly for dkh, calcium, and mag, and dose accordingly for low levels.
Description:
40 gallon breeder. HOB skimmer by Reef Octopus, HOB fuge by CPR with additional skimmer. 2x150 MH by Current USA burning XM 15k bulbs. Moving towards SPS dominated. Three clams, a few LPS, zoanthids. Too many fish; true percula clown hosting the hammer coral, 2 pj cardinals, six line wrasse, clown goby, yasha hase, coral beauty angel, scooter blenny. I change 15 gallons per week because of the high bio load and to replenish trace minerals. nitrate, nitrate, phosphate = 0. dKH = 8-10. Calcium = 450+ Magnesium 1450-1500. Using the 'Balling' method to dose.

About Yourself:
Needed a hobby to keep me out of trouble - this sure did the trick - Im now either working on the tank or sitting down to enjoy it - I havent had my TV on in months
Fish Kept:

Corals/Plants:
Mostly Leather - Devils hand - Yellow Finger leather - Pink Finger Leather - 4 different variations of the toadstool - green flower pot - white flower pot - purple colt - white colt - maroon colt - orange sponges - cup coral - brains - cabbage coral - star polyps - zoos - (2) Bubble anenomes
Tank Size:
150 gallons
Advice:
I read a book and decided to do Fish only because everything I read made coral and reef systems sound so hard and impossible - the fish only went so smooth I decided to turn it into a reef system - Im glad I did -Read but dont take it all to heart - you can ask 100 reef tank keepers the same question and get 90 different answers - You have to take it on your own and figure out what works best - there will be errors - but in the long run it will pay off - and you will fall in love with it.
