The Nano Reef: A Step by Step Guide for Beginners

Well, I've finally put up my 4 part article on nano reefs. This has appeared in several places on the Internet and has helped a lot of fish hobbyists break the hurdle of venturing into saltwater.

I'm sure you've seen saltwater fish and corals on the "expensive" side of your LFS. Haven't you always wanted to try marine? But then you hear how hard it is, or how much it all costs, and how it's good for only "advanced" hobbyists.

Bullshit, I say.

Even if you've never had a freshwater tank before, you CAN start with saltwater. And get this... you can start small, and it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. It is simply not true when someone says bigger is better for saltwater. In fact, it's a bald faced lie that hurts the saltwater hobby and scares away new people.

I encourage everyone to check out my article, even if you've never considered trying your hand at saltwater.

I've written everything so it's easy to understand and you really don't need any knowledge of marine care.

Edit June 2007: The article is off-line as it is being revised.
