Ok, given the seemingly endless string of questions about canister filters, biofiltration, etc etc...i wanted to ask a quick question of anyone willing to answer: How did you get started in SW Tanks:
Personally, I had a FW setup first, liked it, wanted more challenges and more visual interest so decided to go to SW
now, the important part: the first thing I did was read, read, and read, and then read some more. I probably spent 6 months researching before I actually got going with the project. After that I posted here and on nano-reef.com and went to a fish store which I tested by asking typical "beginner" questions to see if they gave me the correct answers, before I trusted them. That is generally the method I use when trying a new LFS...quizz before I buy!
tell me about your experience
