I have been helping my wife with her live planted fresh water tanks for a few months now. I have always wanted to do a reef tank and am looking to gain information. Peace!
Welcome to R2R Lou. You've landed at the right spot to start your research. Lesson number one...do not be in a hurry. Read, read and then read what you've already read. There are plenty of folks here to answer your questions along the way.
Might I suggest you start with this thread. A lot of basic information to get you going.
Thanks I'm getting ready for my 3rd deployment. My plan is to do the JBJ RL-45 as a reef tank with some percula clowns and maybe a few other fish when I get home. I have about a year to research the project.
