And finally we have a basic reef system that has one week for the rock to completely
cure and the nitrogen cycle to establish.  By now if you haven't already figured it out a
tropical reef system is not for the beginner.  It is the pinnacle of the aquarium hobby
and only experienced marine aquarists should consider getting into it.  In addition it's
also very expensive.  What you see above cost me $3,000 bucks and I haven't even
started stalking the tank with corals.  If you do it half ass you'll just kill corals and waste
a ton of money.  One more week of cycling and it will be time to stock the tank with the
good stuff.  I'll start out with just a couple hardy specimens to be sure the tank is safe.
