Funny story mine : I had the OK from the SHMBO to have a small reef tank...
well I lvoe big angels and big tangs and the idea of a small reef tank was almost leaving me depressed.
I love colours and movement and actualyl I had big reef sbut I like softies more than sps so a small tank was coral feasable but not fish feasable...
small water means int he end, small room for error... and thats not good
anyway, I was quite unhappy with the idea and I was trying to convice myself to keep seahorses but still....
Thats when I discovered the RSM ( which I was completely unware of ) and start searching on google for sucess ( or horror stories to be honest ) stories...
I stumbled upon this forum ( so to answer the post was BEFORE ) and was this forum that inspired me to buy it - so many sucess stories, modularity of the system , great chaps, etc etc.
So basically when I put everything together and if the tank breaks and all the fish die - I'll blame you all
