 |  Hello All From Houston
Hi All,
I found this forum and what a God Send. I have so many questions, and now so many answers. I have been a saltwater buff for years but have marveled at the beauty of reef tanks.
I finally found the nerve to start a reef tank after going away for a week to find that my saltwater setup bottomed out (about a year ago).
I have seen posts where people are saying how hard it is to combat this and that. But I have found that the hardest thing by far (at least for me) is....patience. However, I am determined (with your help) to setup a beautiful reef tank.
