    Hi All,

    Rec'd the following in Email this A.M. - some great "Wisdom" contained/condensed within (that is often reflected here at 3Reef!)

    Marine Depot Newsletter 2/25/2004
    "Getting Started in Reefkeeping (Part 1 of 4) BY: MIKE PALLETTA

    Too long to post all here so pasted to a web page to keep track of.

    http://homepages.tscnet.com/omard1/GettingStarted.htm

    Will add to as other parts show up.

    THANKS TO ALL MY "MENTORS" here at 3Reef.

    "...The first step is to read as much as possible..."

    "...One of the ways by which new hobbyists get into trouble is by listening to too many sources of information and then try to incorporate all of these different opinions into their system. It is much better to follow a relatively simple plan to start with and then as success comes add to it..."

    "...it is also a good idea to try and find a mentor to help you along the way..."

    "...The basic principles behind the establishment of a successful reef tank are actually quite simple: good water quality, proper lighting, strong water motion, and proper stocking..."

    "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."    ​
