Armed w/ a new skimmer and some T-5 lighting, I proceeded to gather info on my new found passion. Little did I know that petco and my LFS did not have my tanks best interest at heart. Petco was clueless and the LFS said nothing about the cycle taking close to a month and made it sound as though I could add many fish right away, which they than sold me .
A tribute to the fallen!
This guy died due to old age
As this thread progresses you will see the improved camera skills happen before your very eyes.
Not far into this I get fed up w/ fish dieing, oddly enough the corals that I had been collecting were doing great.
Because I like pics, here is some of that first stock list
Yes I paid for GPS
And 1 I still have today
W/ 4 year update
I stopped buying fish and got on my pc to start reading. Now as we all know, when you google anything reef tank related more forums pop up than anything else. Even the forums were some what tiresome to read (a lot of off topic stuff in between), they were a big improvement to info obtained from the store. After a few months I joined one and than found a local club.
My knowledge increased as did my coral selection and my tank improved as did the mortality rate of my fish.
