As far as cost I think if buying mostly new you should budget for 1000$+ in your first few months for a nano even.

Hello Friends,
I am working on a 'starters guide to reefkeeping' article that addresses the elementary aspects of this hobby and how to be (in most cases) fairly successful.
I see so often many who jump into the hobby with little-to-no knowledge, only to fail because they lack the basic education/patience that would have helped them to make a balanced decision on whether to venture into reefkeeping or not (for those who don't know me, I have been keeping saltwater fish for 20 years and designing/keeping reef tanks for a decade)
My goal is to address the following areas where I'm looking for advice
yup! +1Most critical for being successful in this hobby, IMO, is:
- if you can afford this hobby at all,
- having time and physical ability for attending tank
- individual mental ability to notice what is going on in the tank and take action when needed
- not biting more than can chew, aiming for a system that will need a lot more than a planned equipment, getting out of budget in the first half of year.
One of these days I want to build and document a long term 'no frills' 40Breeder with affordable but good quality items for like 500$, like intentionally try to avoid all the expensive name brand gear for proven cheaper lighting/filtration/etc.As far as cost I think if buying mostly new you should budget for 1000$+ in your first few months for a nano even.
