Reef tanks do take a lot of time, not to mention money too. It maybe best to either start out with a fish only tank for a while and then gradually add some low level corals, which wouldn't take a lot of time or money.
Meatwithgravy, I agree with marrone. See how that works out for you. And thank you for the congrats. Actually we have been married for a few years and there is a few other things affecting my time being home especially my job and other hobby (car audio) just alot on my plate right now. I think what helped me make this decision was the fact that we are going to be looking into moving soon but I'm sure ill be back and still lurking in between threads for a good deal and advice ??
Alot of interests in the livestock!!! But no takes on coral and live rock. Very hard to catch fish without removing rocks first. Someone come take the rocks and all coral for $200.
