Like many saltwater aquarium enthusiasts I started in the world of freshwater. But I always had a fascination with more colorful and seemingly more varied creatures you could only get with a saltwater aquarium.
And so after saving up enough money I took the plunge. Things didn't go so well at the start and I had problems establishing and maintaining the right chemical balance of the water. Still, the learning process was fun and I'm glad I did it.
I'm better with such things now and I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of things I learned along the way.
