There are a variety of techniques that people utilize in setting up and maintaining a reef aquarium. We all think back to when we began and think “if only I had done....”. As you grow in the hobby you will discover which techniques work best for you. Be informed - read books, participate in newsgroups and chat rooms dealing with the subject. Try new ideas and see what works best for you.

As you learn more you will find that certain people swear by certain techniques. Don’t believe everything you hear or read - get a general consensus and try things for yourself to see if they work - everyone has different circumstances and what works for one person may not be the best fit for your tank.
