My real regret is not putting a floor drain under the tank for water changes. If it's at all possible, I highly recommend it!

Two truths to live buy.
How much will you save when you end up having to buy it again (and again and again)?
If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when will you find time to do it again?
I don't think many new hobbyist ask many questions and just learn by making mistakes. Most do so with the mistaken thought that a LFS knows what they need and wouldn't just sale them anything. But no they will sale you anything and do. I have seen so many bad set ups that stores have sold hobbyist through out the years. An manufacturers that will make anything and say anything to sale their wares. I have seen many go out of business and new ones come up behind them.
I try out new equipment all the time and many don't pass my test of fool proof success. Many people will not tell hobbyist all the issues with equipment as this will hurt a sale but it doesn't make a long term hobbyist out of buyer of said equipment just an ex marine aquarium hobbyist.
My only regret was not getting a bigger tank, however they regret is being resolved in May . I done lots of research and so far it's paid off.
I think the following questions are top google searches daily -
T5 VS LED
Rim VS Rimless
Skimmer VS ATS
Bare bottom VS Sand
Don't buy fine sand for a reef tank. With the flow you need it will blow all over
Because sometimes you can be too passionate. I don't lie to her, but I may not tell her everything either.
I really wish this time around I would have asked... "Instead of that 190 sitting there, can you get me a 400 gallon and deliver it" (my bank account is thankful that I didn't ask this question)
If I had a wife she would have left me.
I have an empty 235g sitting in my garage.... ;p I can't afford to run both my tanks anymore... :/
What do you mean hunny? I've had that coral for awhile! You must not have noticed it... ;p
Whenever I tell my wife to open the garage door for me when I get home she asks what I bought... ;p
Begginer question: why should I buy a reef ready tank if the design takes a lot of state I could use for rock and coral? I'll better drill this one! (??? Me, before I start researching and knowing about the different methods available like the Animal Bean design)
