Hello everyone new member and reefer here! Me and my wonderful wife have always been amazed by this hobby and decided to try our hand at it. We are going to go the mixed reef route with softies and LPS corals. For the past two months we have binged probably hundreds of hours of reefing content and got to the point of cycling our first tank!
We found a 60g cube with a complete setup on marketplace only a 10 minute drive down the road - light, sump, pump, power head, skimmer and plenty of accessories. We bought dry rock and built our aquascape which I will put a picture of on here.

We are super excited to get going!

We are open to all advice! What would you change or do differently with your first tank?

Welcome to the community! I think a soft/lps route is the best route to go 😁 I would recommend to make sure the rockwork isn't close enough to the glass that you're able to still clean that you dont touch it, and to create a build thread so we can follow along!
