I've been keeping aquariums from the age of 5 and now I'm soon to be 36. For about 10 years in the 90's I kept a combo of fresh and salt tanks. Back then It seemed that everything in salt would die. I had a long nosed butterfly that lived almost 2 years and that was considered a big deal. IF you had the money and wanted to flush it down the crapper then you would try live corals. I've been given a 30 gal with a great oak hood and stand etc( and I kept everything else from back in the day-wet dry, pumps etc). I set it up for my 2 year old son. Everytime I went to the pets store I would walk by the salt tanks without a second look because of the thought of watching them slowly die. Well, the tank has been up for awhile now. I got to looking at your site and a few others AND what do I see? Not only reef tanks being keep for extended amounts of time BUT, corals that live more then a month! and they are being propagated in a closed environment. ALSO, fish that thrive and some that make baby fish! I could believe it! Anyway, I'm in the process of buying a new home and once I'm in I'll be going back to the reef! I'm not sure why I wrote this but, keep up the good work!
