Re: LOOK! Frequently Asked Questions~

THIS is a great idea!

Would there be a way to make that prominent on the home page? It's own little section front and center, decorated kind of splashy so it's The Thing you notice first?

I remember searching for a place to learn, and if I'd come across a site with the Noop stuff posted right on the home page where it can't be missed I would have done a back flip! I think it would be a great draw for noop people.

Great suggestion Barb I'll get with Travis.

BTW... it was Travis' suggestion to clean up all the stickies so this is just an extention of his idea

Allen Allen's testimonial . . ."Let Me help you help YOURSELF" (Click Here)

with a SW set up there is one basic fundamental rule that we ALL should follow
When in doubt... wait it out. This means take it slow and let the tank "develop" and don't rush it. Time is your friend


Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Big Al's 10g

Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube

BigAl's Slow 90g Tank Chronicle

Allens OFFICE 12g Nano-Reef
