Being a newbie myself with a 2-month old tank, it is quite the learning curve. It's helpful having knowledge with a freshwater tank, so understand the need not to rush, checking the levels, etc. I'm grateful for the information on-line, spending much time here trying to figure things out. There are 4 relatively close LFS here, which helps somewhat - they aren't as helpful as I'd like trying to learn and understand, but I get that maybe they've been through it many times. It is frustrating, too, when trying to buy a frag how you get such a tiny piece yet get no information on placement of it. LFSs are happy to sell you items, just often don't want to take the time to tell you how best to care for them. "Just try it in different places until it seems happy and then glue it down." Now 3 dead zoas later, am apprehensive of spending yet more money on new ones. Buying on-line is yet more cost prohibitive because of the shipping. And as always, every person you ask gives you a different answer. So sometimes I feel like a fish out of water trying to figure the saltwater tank out, lol.
