    Thinking about a reef tank and need some input

    My husband and I are thinking about a reef tank. He has had freshwater tanks for all of his life and is interested in switching over. We are neatfreaks and have been looking a lot of information on the web. It seems like saltwater tank setups are messy, noisy and space intensive. It could be...
