Hey R2R!

I’ve posted a couple of inquiries on the forum, but have yet to introduce myself. I’m about to set up my first saltwater tank (IM Fusion 25 lagoon AIO). Just cycling my QT now in anticipation of a couple of clowns to kick things off fish-wise. Plan on taking things slow, but definitely want to add softies, LPS, and maybe even SPS after I feel more comfortable in the hobby. This week has been kind of nuts with the amount of research done and cash I’ve had to splash, but I think I’m pretty set to get things started!

Thanks for being so welcoming!

Welcome! Glad you joined. That is the cutest line I've heard - may I steal "cash I've had to splash" ?!?!?! LOVE IT

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
