find out what your lighting needs are before you buy. upgrading means you wasted money.too much light can also be a waste if you are keeping low light corals.
#54 belive in karma!
if you love a coral, frag it and sell it to others. if the day comes that you loose that same colony you can buy back a frag from the ones you sold it to. what goes around comes around.
#52 always support your local fish store. they may not alwasy have the best prices, but the convience of having stuff in stock and being able to look before you buy is worth the extra money.
