    Nobody said it would be easy....or cheap lol, but the end results if properly executed can be worth the time and money invested.

    so true! tomorrow, i'm going to do a water change and pour the water in a bucket and scrub the GHA off the rocks as best as i can, and if no GHA pops up for a week, next weekend i'll get my first coral. My tank is 4 months old now, so i think it's about time

    They say that most Cichlids came from the ocean back in the day when the ocean levels were higher... the water retreated and they became landlocked and learned to care for their young to protect them from the FW fish...

    Yeah... they are so much harder to keep than you realize! Well... not hard to KEEP but to grow and breed...
