Which is better a bought reef or.....

And I'm with Ace about watching your own baby fishies grow up. That is funner than anything.

I like watching the fish I breed grow up, but when it comes to a FO show tank, I'm all about instant satisfaction. Of course, most of that is relative to cichlids and waiting for them to become awesome, if they ever do.

WOW THIS IS A NICE THREAD WITH REAL GOOD FEED BACK..but 350gt is talking about me..1 of 100 that we fight about..ever day..lol.
but need 2 say should always have to sides..an with knowing the other side ,i don't see the point of asking on an other point..
im 28..single, live alone..not a family man like a lot of ya'll that r chilled out...not in 1 apt or house for more then a yr an a hf...so that being said i want the full colones..ya im new an dont no much, an didn't have the tank set up yrs..but who cares..a 1in frag dont cut it for me in a 135 gallon 6 foot long tank..sorry..an with all the info an advises..is good but there is so much an works for some ,an other will try new things..but does not mean the advises was not thank full for..

An ya i called his tank a rock tank an it was wrong but in my (( opinion )) what i call a reef thank will not be the same as what some 1 else calls it..an thats ok..not a big deal.. i think people get to touche on some things when the hole hobby is up for grabs..some people do it for the long term an some for the short..but who cares..some people say there not ready but that just how u feel..not say u have to be in this hobby for yrs an know so much about it to do so..
so i thank the ones that give advises to the short timers an dont care..but are happy to help any way they can.. dont want this to b a back a forth topic..but a.. if u guys were in my shoes would it matter..
ps 350gt has 1 of the nicest tanks iv ever seen an the reason y i started this hobby..an even with ur LRK.lol i still vote u tank of the month...

There's nothing wrong with your approach, king. I think we are all pretty much saying the same thing, to each their own.

Ah, to be 28 and single. One of the reasons I don't drop to bills on a colony, or a frag, is 'cause the wife would tan my hide.

I always try to get small fish because I think they're cute, and I can have them longer before I have to give them away for a bigger tank.
