About130 days ago i bought a 200 gallon used acrylic tank to replace the 100 gallon reef tank that I had for the last 8 years.
it turns out that as I tried to get the tank set up with utilizing the used equipment and so on, i found i knew nothing and solved mysteries.
I have no friends in Palmdale that own reef tanks, and i assumed that i was doing ok.
these forums have helped me so much, that i finally decided to stop being a lurker and join in the conversations.
things I learned from the forums:
fish don't disappear, you are doing something wrong
get a phosphate meter
learned what a bioreactor is
learned that i did my sand wrong in the start
learned that i killed all my other coral
fish have recommended minimum tank size
GFO is a thing
learn to feed the fish better
and so on
(the tank's phosphates are still going down, so soon, i will have a clear tank)
