Reefs are where it's at for the big boys. :D

This is a newbie we're helping out....

Besides, Reef setups cost $BLING$ to set up and $BLING$ to maintain. And you need lots of experience to do one. Can't jsut start iwth a Reef.

You have a Reef? pics!!! pics!!!

I thought about saltwater or Reef, but my next tank will probably be a Discuss tank.

It doesn't cost much to maintain a reef setup. Initial cost can be a lot though you're right. I'm in the process now of setting up my new 200G. I'm not going to post the link as I pay by the bandwidth but if you're interested PM me.

Chris is right...reefs dont cost that much to maintain...they just cost alot to start up. Actually i probably do less work on my reef than i did when i had my freshwater tank. Cleanup crew mainly takes care of everything. Just gotta do water changes...top off...and drip some kalk every once in a while.

You reefers doing the SPS thing or are you only into the LPS & Softies? I'm planning a greenhouse for softies & other lower light corals.
