Beautiful, very professional-looking site Brett.
The only thing that struck me was it does have a lot of white...but everyone else seemed to like that and I am no expert...and that would not be a reason for me to leave a site.
Your credibility and content will draw a good following to you in the long run, so don't worry about the traffic yet. Your expertise and sincerity come across nicely in your writing.
We have a 30-gallon octagonal salt-water aquarium..with nothing in it right now but a spider starfish, live rock, and some crabs...and we also have a huge, empty 250 gallon tank that someone gave to us that we want to set up...maybe when my site finally takes off
. My kids could swim in that thing!!! But I am not buying $1900 fish!!!!
I begged for a salt-water tank two years ago and hubby obliged and found he loved taking care of it (fine with me!) At feeding time we would pull up chairs and watch all the action in there. It did well over the first summer we had it...but then school started again and all of our extra activities slow us down....but especially between January to April when we are nonstop we have let it go and have no fish in it. I will send DH your blog...we should get motivated!!!!!
