I am new to the reef world😁 and I'm in the process of setting up my very first 78 litre saltwater tank.
I have found many useful information on R2R which helped me a lot to plan my first steps so thank you all for sharing your experiences.
I built a mini aquascape using marco rock and glue; this is currently being soaked in RO water till after Easter. Then I will launch the aquarium (I feel like I'm a kid waiting for Xmas...)
I will use CaribSea Arag alive special grade sand, maybe I will also add in a small piece of live rock, and I will cycle the tank using the Red Sea Mature Reef starter kit.
 
Welcome to your new home for saltwater reef aquarium resources and fun! Welcome to the family! :D
