This forum has been really great for me in that department especially. I have purchased my led lighting, skimmer, heaters, gyre pump, phosban reactor, apex controller, and dosing pumps all from Canreef members. I now only buy coral frags from other members and hope to start trading one day. This is just the stuff that you can put a $ value to....I wouldn't know how to price all the advice, ideas and hints that I have received and read
and all the fantastic people I have met on the way.
