Hello and congrats to everyone in the US that survived another Thanks Giving.

My name is Adam, I live in southern MN USA.
I've been thinking about starting a reef tank (focus on invertebrates over fish). I do not yet have a tank, and this will be my first salt water tank. First any tank really since I was a kid (10 gallon freshwater ones). I haven't bought anything yet, only gone over a library book about salt water tanks (George Blasiola). Was up in town at Wet World (Eagan MN) asking a few questions and they said I should come here to petition for knowledge.

Otherwise hello and happy Sunday.

My first order of business here would be to find some general/basic guides on reef tanks

Adam

Welcome!

Exciting starting your journey - first think about space and size you have and work back from there.
Dont want to get hung up on having a certain type of fish etc - only to realise you cannot fit it!

Remember...its addictive 😁
