Please note that the following sections are given as a guide to those lacking in practical experience, and are intended only as a 'guide', not the 'be all, and end all' of what you should, or shouldn't do. As such, I  can accept no responsibility for actions taken based upon the information given in connection with any other system than my own. Any comments I make that are 'scientifically proven fact' will be stated as a definite issue, comments other than these will always be made clear by putting 'IMO' prior to any opinion. This means that the comment is based upon  my own practical experience or is widely accepted within the hobby as being correct in most instances.

As I'm a firm advocate of helping others as much as I can. I decided to add this section with the aim of clarifying a few areas of reef-keeping that frequently cause allot of confusion.
