First Time Reef Builder

myteebird · Sep 24, 2023

Hello Everyone!

I am looking to start my first ever saltwater tank after having freshwater tanks for quite a while! If anyone has any tips or tricks to starting out I would greatly appreciate it! I am very advanced in freshwater so I am open to any saltwater suggestions as I am an "OCD Fish Owner" and read water parameters almost daily in all my tanks and would love to create environments for unique species!
