[mr.reef24]

this is the best and most recommended book for beginners from anthony calfo, to myself to the rest of those known recommend this book for someone new before they even start the tank.

are those books good for coral info? just had to ask since if it is mostly fish then it's not 100% what i need (i think)... or is it?

I meant to buy the best skimmer and lights and return pump and "FLOW" you budget allows!

get a 10 gallon tank and turn it into a bank, then wait til the tank is overflowing with money and then you are ready

i know a nano tank is small (pico to nano or 5g to 15g) but i keep getting advices that bigger is better in terms of lesser fluctuations in temp and chemistry... can you please clarify?

i am still on planning stage and i have to list down all of my requirements, equipments, stocks, etc. so that i wont miss anything... =) earliest i might start building would be next month and the latest would be by next year (when i move in to my condominium unit)

oh i have to mention this, i just joined the local forum that the person Reefscape referred me to made me join... there is a thriving community here!!! wow!!!!

If you are moving in a few months would probably hold off till then. Save yourself a little unnecessary work.Take your time and gather your research and equipment. There's nothing to it.
