to anyone wanting to get into this hobby, right now, stop. take a step back and rethink. i just lost $300 in fish in a week. i was over zealous, over loaded my new tank (6 weeks old, still considered new). i recommend that you read, research, and learn. and when you think you might understand the mechanics of running a living system such as a saltwater marine/coral tank, read, research, and learn it again. i cant express enough; the importance of patience and dedication required to be successful in this hobby.
so now i have to totally start over, i have a few inverts and coral to stare at; but ich, brooklyn, and redslime have taken over. there is a lone yellow tang in qt, we will see how he does.
i'm not here to discourage anyone from entertaining themselves with this great hobby. i just want you to have the easiest and most successful adventure with the least costly and time consuming mistakes.
(i'm done venting now)
good luck!
