Yes, i totally agree with you there...we all try to impress on people how much patience is needed with starting in marines, or even keeping the reef going....but actually restraining yourself from blasting corals and fish in there is something else....he he heNow that's some fast growing chaeto!
You sound extremely organized. Good to wait until you decide what you really want...one of the hardest parts of this hobby in my opinion.
