| Tunicate | Re: New to site Hi, I am 46, I have had many aquariums over the years and I am now considering a salt water aquarium but only after I take the time to understand what I am getting into. I have read many books and internet information sites but still do not feel confident enough to start my new system as of yet. I hope this site will give me a more personal insight to the salt water hobby. Thank you in advance. Ray |
