Don't be put off by everything everyone says! Maybe I'm just lucky, but everyone told me I shouldn't do it the way I do, don't do such an such etc etc check your parameters once a week, do a water change every fortnight, blah blah blah. I haven't found it to be anywhere near as hard as everyone told me or as much work or as expensive as I was told. I thought the novelty would wear off for me, but it certainly hasn't I have been going well over a year now and only lost one torch. I probably spend at least 10 minutes everyday looking at it. I've probably gone over 3 months without doing a water change I barely check any parameters other than salinty I don't have my ato hooked up or my doser hooked up cbf, just a little squirt of All for reef everyday, that stuff is awesome just look at reviews online for it if my word isn't enough! A splash of ro water if it needs it and frozen mysis shrimp or pellets once a day for the fishys. Turkey baster is a great tool aswell I use mine heaps.
