Hello fellow reefers,
just last night my wife finally agreed to a reef aquarium. I have been triggered by the many dives I did myself and wanted to share the (sea)underwater experience with friends, but being able to speak while watching.
Honestly, I've been wanting a reef aquarium for a long time but (the kid, the wife, the house, the job - you name it) has been an excuse to NOT reef. So for the last 15 or so years I have been a freshwater tank maintainer. But as of last night I can finally announce these times will be over soon.
We already discussed the tank. It will be Red Sea Max S 650 - LED. I tried to catch up on the reading part lately, but there are so many different opinions. My brains kept smoking and I got a bit scared. More out of respect to the knowledge one seems to have, to start a reef and keep it going.
Then I discovered this forum and you guys threads made the scientific part more practical and understandable for a saltwater rookie.
Thanks to all of your threads - which I keep studying (especially SPR and nobbygas) - I made a couple of hardware decisions and will prepare my shopping list.
Can't wait to spend those hardly earned bucks at my local TFS.
