  2. To reef... or not to reef?

    Hi All,
    My name is Jim and I have been "assisting my yougest son (21 yrs) in converting his 75G freshwater to salt. Two months so far and WOW what a ride. I am absolutely hooked on the science and complexity of it all.

    Now for the question... is it advisable to consider owning a reef if I plan to travel 3 or 4 weeks out of the year? I may be retiring at the end of next year and I plan to see some of this great country!

    Any words of wisdom truly appreciated! ...
