Be Patient. Ecosystems do not develop over night!
Go Slow, relax and enjoy every step of the process.
Have lots of patience, don't rush it.
Nothing good ever happens fast in a saltwater tank.
Learn the art of GO S-L-O-W!! patience will be your biggest virtue.
Just remember to go slow and do your research
Go slow....slower than you think
The trick is to go slow...
The best advice anyone here has give me is GO SLOW
Rules for Reef tanks 1. Go SLow 2. Go slow 3. GO slow
Nothing happens fast in a salt tank except bad things so go slow
The biggest advice that I could give you is that you should go very slow
Just go slow. Slow, slow, slow is my best advise
Go slow and do things right and your setup will thank you for it later
Remember the number one rule of reefing,,GO SLOW...
Go slow and enjoy..never rush any decisions ever..do nothing on impulse.
Go slow, and during that time, read, and practice the maintenance routines of water changes
A reef tank is like a race car. The faster you go the harder you crash
"gospel" of reef tanks ... go slow...

Research and patience. Research... I've learned a lot by researching things, and figuring them out. In this hobby there is quite a bit of conflicting info out there weeding through it and figuring it out can be very rewarding in it's own right. Patience...+1 to all above

Karma/reputation for all!!! All very good advice guys. Patience and look up stuff before you go to the fish store and pull a "point and buy". Pretty much all the advice I have acquired from everyone here. Seriously my tank would not be running if I had not found this site. All the advice here has pointed me the right way. O and as Matt told me ps, add more live rock haha
