Hi all
I've kept freshwater planted tanks for 20+ years, manually dosing ferts, co2 dosing all that fun stuff. Kind of bored of it and I've been keeping an eye out for people selling off salt tanks and gear for awhile, finally after 2 good purchases I have a nice 75 gallon with a 20gal sump ready and waiting for me to... figure out what to do next! And a ton of assorted gear, I'll start a build thread up for it shortly here. I am very glad I didn't just jump in yet though - I recently watched through all of the BRS 5 minute guide to reefing and pretty sure I dodged a bullet on a few things I was about to do, like re using live rock from a tank that was clearly getting nuked by algae and possible worse.
This seems like a great resource and I'm excited to learn some more, and get this tank filled up and looking good! Take care and happy reefing to everyone!
