So, you’ve started a saltwater tank and you’re looking to make the jump to a coral reef. First ask yourself, “is my tank ready for this kind of animal?” You have the right lighting, the proper salt, enough live rock and the tank has been running for at least a week… so now where do you start building your very own reef?

One thing that many new reefers don't think about when getting into the hobby is having too much success. It sounds like a strange concept, how can too much success in reef keeping be a problem? Well considering that our home aquariums are only a minuscule fraction of the ocean, space will always be precious in our systems.
