Stumbled across this spot as I was looking to find out what it takes to get into reef-keeping, and I must say, seems like quite a bit of knowledge is floating around here. Im from queens, been doing the freshwater thing long enough to know I want to go salt..but I want to do it correctly.....so I hope to find some good advice..and maybe a friend to assist or two...keep doing what you folks are doing...you do it well.....

Hello Seldumscene
Kinda like a kid in the candy store.....
Well, truth be told, I have a jones for the Fish Only....but after looking at some of these reef tanks.......hmmmmm, its kinda hard to decide......i dont wanna go crazy....wanna make sure i do it correctly. But after stumbling around the aquarium spot on east 38th (i think) and a few other places...I feel like a kid in a penny candy store and I have an entire dollar to spend...what to do what to do? So ill take it slow and see.

the fact that you've got a whole dollar in a penny shop and are talking about taking it slow is GREAT!
You know the phrase measure twice, cut once - it kind of applies here, too. Read tons and buy what you know you'll be able to nurture. develop a plan based on what you see that you love and can afford (time, energy, money...)
I started with fish only with live rock (FOWLR) and after a few years, upgraded my lights and started with soft corals - have recently upgraded lights again and am getting ready for more "complicated" coral species...
Enjoy yourself!!! You've found a great community here!
