There is know about liverock placement, waterflow importance for different types of corals, fish who will or will not nip at corals, coral placement, what to look for when purchasing a coral, how to treat a sw tank (different than fw), hitchhikers than can arrive and if they are good or bad. I could go on but you know this stuff already................

Again I'm not saying it cant be done. Its just much harder.........

And for every 1 person you know that started with a nano and it thrived, I can list 10 who failed..........
