    Back in the day...

    Like many people here, I've been keeping marine tanks for many years.

    LACK OF BASICS KEEPING NEWBIES AWAY FROM REEFING

    In lifelong years of freshwater and my recent conversion to reef keeping, Ive thoroughly enjoyed them all. My fear is that like other things, the true basics of any fishkeeping, especially saltwater, is, or will be lost forever, and replaced with complicated explanations to beginners of the...
