    Call me crazy.... I guess I am, but nonetheless, I'm starting 2 tanks at the same time. I'm as green as they come.....never done anything like this before, but my intention is to get the 76 gal 1/2 circle to be a nice reef and the 210 a nice primary fish tank. Any advise and or help from anyone is greatly appreciated. Currently I have about 100 lbs of live rock in the 76er and another 100 lbs of Pukani dry rock in the 210. Currently I'm attempting to arrive at some good light sets for each. I'm located in deep south Texas. Once again hello to all and I'm open to suggestions. I'd like to post pics of what I have so far, but I don't know how to do that either...lol I'll figure it out and post for critique and advise.

    Welcome to the forum, just remember to take your time,..Patience is a virtue. look on craiglist for supplies (it will save you $$$), before buying anything (especially fish and coral) do your research, make sure they are compatible. Ask questions, dont always trust your LFS.
