I feel the same way, I would have made a lot of mistakes if I didn't have the people here to bounce things off of. I've saved a tone of money and time by researching and asking lots of questions first. Everyone on here is great!
Of course they failed to tell me this website was addicting.

I love it, this is something that I have always wanted. Well I really wanted it to be an in wall tank. But for space reasons I could not do it. So I bulit the stand for about$100 and put it behind the couch. I think it is doing ok, but I still need to add a little.
I plan on getting metal halides and getting some serious coral. I really like it because you can see both sides. I guess that means I will have to buy twice as many corals. But one thing I have learned with this hobby is patience. If you put stuff in to fast, you end up with dead stuff.
Dead stuff = not good

Well they are so strong if I point them down it kicks up sand everywhere. There is actually one powerhead and one filter on one side of the tank. The filter also acts as a powerhead. So it pushes water for me as well. I may be different than alot of people but I think there should be a small area in the tanks with minimal water flow. Just in case something needs to hide or get out of the wind.
Also it is much less then a 45 I just turned it until I could see the top of the water being rippled. The other is pretty horizontal.
