I heard that they are really hard to maintain.
Hey, I just joined the forum and noticed your post. Did you ever get the tank set up? Is it fish only? Reef? What items have your purchased already? What size is your tank?
The best advice I can give you is to read, read, read, and take your time. With a saltwater tank it can be very tempting to add fish and coral pretty quickly, but the bioload can take a toll on your tank. Patience is the key. I am getting ready to set one back up in a few months but its been so long that I may as well call myself a newbie!
