Hi,
Like many on here I've kept freshwater fish for years but have always wanted to try saltwater. My wife bought me a evo 13.5 for my birthday in October and this will be the begining of my adventure on the salty side. It went underwater on the second of this month and has nearly cycled.

Welcome and Goodluck man

I started about this time last year and the community here has taught me so much.

I to was from fresh and i will say the challenge is staying stable. Fresh we have a bit more leway but with salt stabilty is power. Alk, mag, cal or nutrients could be higher than other but if you keep it more stable then others yoir corals and fish will be happy.

Best advise i can give from some one still learning haha

Stability is power in a reef
Feed your corals to haha ;)
