"And hats off to you for jumpng in with a 250 gallon-at least it will take time for the "swings" with that water volume-LOL, you got to have DEEP pockets to stock that tank-I forgot how many Thousands I have dumped into mine-
you must be single also, or seperate bank accounts"
If I had only read this 2 weeks ago..............
Just keep reading! This is a great forum, lot's of help, great people etc. My mentor and I set up a few "coral purchases" 125 mile away and we got to see some great stuff! Different ways of running these systems, lighting techniques and livestock. I would do it again every night after work if the wallet would allow. Don't be afraid to post questions. Seems like they have already been there, done that and asking first seems to help loosing livestock or making expensive wrong decisions later. GOOD LUCK!
