I told my wife that I'd like an aquarium for my home office for Christmas. I was thinking I'd get a little fresh water tank, but true to her form, she got me a reef capable salt water tank. We're divers. She thought it would be cool. "Um, sweetie, I don't know squat about salt water aquariums OR coral reefs!" And now, several months in, I've spent an obscene amount of money trying to make sure I provide the very best home for my two little fish and my new coral buds. They're doing pretty well. With the help of a local coral shop I'm learning a LOT, but there is still a lot to learn and I tend to be a tad obsessed with it now. I look forward to the insight of your experience.
