I agree. I am somewhat new to the hobby but I have learned so much about each coral, fish, piece of equipment on my own. For me, it gives me a better sense of pride and appreciation for what I have designed and the success I have had. It's funny because I went on a vacation where we snorkled through coral reefs and I was so suprised at what I had picked up on my own and what I was able to identify. Nothing like taking pride in something you have created through your own sweat and, unfortunately, somtimes tears.

Just watched the video.....my own opinion.....not worth what they paid for. I have seen tanks on this website that put those to shame. Again...just my opinion. Different strokes for different folks.....

if i had all that money and a tank that big i would do just that... sit back and RELAX. of course mine would have real coral but i would pay people to survice the tank. all i would do is buy fish and coral cuz doing a trillion gallon water change once a week to me is just NOT fun.

... half the fun of this hobby i think is making it work and doing everything yourself

Half the aggravation as well

btw, that link (which I realize is 9 years old now) no longer goes to the aquarium video.
