I was thinking that maybe someone should post a thread about quick advice for all the rookies like me. so i decided to post it myself
lol :-)
I would like to add
Do research and question everything you hear. Everyone has there own experiences
Most
LFS are out to sell stuff ( not saying all, but most ) they have there own experiences as well..
Dont go cheap on a
skimmer, a
skimmer can save you work as well as make work.
Lighting, i am still learning lights but to some extent i dont think anyone fully has it down pat. so learn as much about lights as you can before you buy a exspensive light. and know what type of tank you want ( Reef tank or Fish Tank )
Sandbed, Decide what type of sandbed you want (depth and type) because it is hard to add or change later..
Forums, Forums are the best thing to happen to the internet when it comes to salt water tanks. dont hesitate to post something. it will help you and may help other people as well..
Heaters, if you are in a cold climate you really want to get a good heater. extreme temp drop can hurt if not kill your live stock.
Cycling, let the tank cycle and dont rush things it could cost you money as well as time.
well thats all i can think of right now. everyone feel free to post your advice for us newbies.. :-)
