I just want to know exactly how difficult it is is to keep reef tanks. I have power compacts, and I heard that they should be okay for corals. Which ones are the easiest to care for, the coolest looking, and will do well in a 55 gallon? If it is too difficult, I just might not do it, but please let me know, cuz I hear that you need like calcium thingies and treatment magiggies. Thanx a lot guys.

You need to care: what inhabitants need and whether they can get along. You do have to enjoy and if cleaning, changing water, mixing calcium, strontium, iodine monthly or weekly seems too much of an effort for beautiful creatures that need live rock, individual needs, then it may be more than you can handle. But, it is enjoyable work. It is always advantagious to read, read, read, and that will only make you apreciate the hobby more, more, and more.
There is another advantage, it will make you more appreciative of the awesome natural world. It will enrich your life. Just be knowledgeable about where and how your creatures are caught, and where. A lot of unlawful ways of catching marine and freshwater inhabitants, that will have unhealthy affects on the critters you get. Some fish are better purchased knowing they are tank raised than almost ished out. extinct. Hope you care.

"That has to be the UGLIEST tank I have ever seen. Terrible, you hae WASTED all of your money on thta PILE. Sorry, no hard feelings."
"210 Gallon Reef, up and running one year and a half. SOOOO, you see the tank, and I will post some of my 55 gallon pics later. Actually, cant brag too much of this, it is my dad's office, but I still call it mine cuz I care for it at least once a week. My dad pays for the stuff, and I do the work. So, let me know what you think, Thanks."
"Well that was kinda mean. Considering that I am 15 and maintaining a tank like that, even though it doesnt belong to me, I think that is kinda good. You saying that I dont have a nice tank?"
don't flame ppl then lie about owning a tank that you don't then ask for help on running a tank.....its not cool to make fun of someones tank.... and not even tell them how you think it would be better
