    Made sure to have had a pre-drilled tank...
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    make sure the tank was drilled for both an overflow and for a closed loop. As well as buying good equipment in the beginning instead of upgrading upgrading upgrading throughout the process. Pick the best equipment possible even if the price means you'll have to delay startup.

    I would have liked to have had kept better records of everything we did, from supplements to where this or that coral/fish/whatever came from or went, everything that was changed as the tank came to be. Tthough I am trying really hard to do that now (the blogs make it easy).
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
