He Who Created the Reef Aquarium Needs to Be Shot

Yes I do believe this. It has cost me thousands of dollars that I could have used for something more useful...LOL. To tell you the truth I wouldn't give it up...ever.

Even after my most recent downfall. Got lazy for awhile and had a massive NITRATE and AMMONIA explosion and lost all but two pieces of coral, my green button polyps and bubble coral. So needless to say I am re-curing my rock work. Also considering taking the DIY road and making my own LR, 50 gal. wood refugium, protein skimmer, de-nitrification chamber, phosphate reactor, and hood with roughly 500 - 600 MH and VHO light setup.

Well not too interesting as this is my first post, kind of an online journal of the tanks process from here on out. Next time I get into here I will, or at least should have, the water parameters published and maybe a couple pics of my poor bare tank.
