Thanks Kevin! I do appreciate suggestions. I know I don't always follow them, but they are helpful regardless. Getting different perspectives and discussing is hugely important. Sometimes it steers me in a different direction, sometimes it confirms my original thought. It has been proven that discussion is the key to breakthroughs, and I've seen it confirmed, often right here!

I think having a vision is an important starting point. Without one, you're just stumbling along. With one, you may be stumbling along, but at least you have an endgame in mind.

I'm digging your vision. So original! Who builds an oyster reef! Modeling different ecosystems, rather than the same old coral reef, I think inspires other aquarists to consider something new. Trailblazin'!
