Just to get a bit of a debate going, I though I would disagree with your article.
I am also relativley new to marine and entered the same way the author did. I have made a lot of mistakes, and received a lot of bad advice from various LFS. But that is part of the process. Now I know you can't put a Tang in a small tank, because I did it, I know how to get algea under control bacuase I have done it, I know not to put Damsel fish in first.....well you get the picture. Learning is part of the interest of the hobby, please get advice and read good books, avoid losing fish and don't be cavalier, but don't let anyone dictate to you about right and wrong ways, experiment, learn and enjoy.
