live in Costa Rica, am retired, I have a orchid greenhouse. and tropical fish(mostly ciclids from Africa. 1000 L pond with waterfall full of ciclids.Now I want to start a reef tank and think the best way is to be in a forum with people who know all the pit falls. Thanks Jimmy Nix

Welcome Jimmy. It wont hurt to get some good books to. The Reef Aquarium series is my favorite. Do you plan on collecting some of your stock?

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
