I am looking forward to starting my own reef tank. I want in to the salt hobby more for the corals and inverts than the fish.
I'm just too busy this year, but if I have some downtime in the next 5 years I will be taking the plunge with one of my 75 gallon tanks. The current residents of that tank are elderly and should finish out their natural lifespans within the next year or two I'm guessing - then it's time to convert!
Expensive equipment (lighting, etc) but worth it IMHO~

They use to have a bad rap but I have 10 differnt lights with them and they work just fine one is 4 years old.
several species of Gracilaria, Agardhiella, Ulva, and several other species that we just call green, red, or brown that we have yet to ID. we collect algae from the feild and grow it out. the ones i listed above we grow all the time.
im not talking about actual fish poop or anything on the black sand. im talking about chunks of rocks and shells. they stand out.
Never had truble. I think its the rock I have its soft and just turns to dust.
Some day I'm gona be rich and own me a salt water tank. I'll have to be rich because I always end up with a tank full of belly-ups. You know those fish that swim upside down. Really nice pictures you've got there.
you should just get those upside down catfish they already swim that way lol
