What does Reefing 101 look like to you? Schools in session!

[GoogleWasMyIdea]

Co-naming the class: “Reefing 101: The Science Of Keeping Water-So things can live happily within”. That’s all we really do is keep water

 

[GoogleWasMyIdea]

Then I would have the class be “How to effectively search and post on the greatest reefer forum, Reef2Reef, to find answers to your problems and questions…learn from those who reef”.

Hopefully the university is co-located with a tech school so there is -Intro to Plumbing. Intro to Electricity & Electronics, Intro to Realistic vs Hypothetical Problem Solving. “Intellectualis Curiositos” is the motto

My tank is 1 week old and I have it fully stocked with corals and fish.

I would save my money and time and just purchase the book Reefing for Dummies. So younger reefers, you won’t get this.

The finances of reefing, or how to hide major purchases from your spouse.

I’m not sure this falls under the reefing 101 category. I feel like this is more of a masters or maybe even phd level class with how long it would take to master it.
