Welcome to the wonderful world of Reef keeping!  Without doubt one of the most beautiful & rewarding hobbies to play with…BUT, it can also be frustrating.  Especially at first.  So much information out there, so many people who say "do it this way".  Who to believe & what to believe?!  This hobby has a well deserved reputation for being difficult…until now.

You are reading this hopefully because you have chosen AquaCorals to mentor you through to success.  It is my goal to help you achieve the reef aquarium of your dreams.  One that can last endless years & perhaps even make you money with your excess corals!

In order to be successful with my “recipe for setup” you must do everything I do.  Missing even one part of this recipe would be like trying to make cookies & not including the flour!  Please, do not take into account conflicting opinions of others.  Until you can confidently diagnose typical aquarium situations and the appropriate course of action, as I would, do not proceed on your own.  Especially until you also clearly understand exactly WHY I recommend what I do. By no means am I suggesting not to read books/magazines & researching the Internet on all topics, but I highly recommend focusing on animal needs/care (coral, invert or fish) & avoid what would be other's aquarium philosophies.
