mmm a little bit of both, leaning slightly towards the questions. fiqured it might help giving a methodology as a guide instead giving bunch of boundaries or rules to go by.

I know that we all understand and agree with all that you're saying but I wonder if you've simplified it enough for the beginning hobbiest. The only way to know is with feedback from those just starting.
funny you should say, i had it named "for the advanced newbie, a" but thought the link i gave would help any new newbies get up to speed. to be honest the thing that motivated me the most was all the of super simplified micromanagement info out there that overloads those just getting into reefs, everything after that starts getting more avanced. nothing seems to give a newbie to whatever is above newbie status any kind of methodology on starting out. they usually list a bunch of different ways to do the same job for every step and the big picture gets lost along the way.
