re: Saltwater aquarium enthusiasts help me with my new tank

Good luck with it! I've wanted to do a reef tank for years. Almost got into it a few yrars ago when I quit racing motorcycles and was looking for a hobby. Did all the research, bought a couple things, them bailed on the whole idea.
Last year when I got back into keeping snakes, I didn't expect to have more than one or two. Now a year later I've got between $4-5K tied up in my snake collection. If I knew I was going to sink that much money into them, I would have started a 200 gallon reef tank project. I think when we're done traveling for my kid's karate tournaments in a couple years, I'll make a serious run at a nice setup. I want to do mostly soft corals with a few fish and critters. Please post some pics and updates throughout the process.
