Hello -- Finally got the green light

IMG_4529.jpeg
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef! The HelloReef is a great tank. I have the freshwater version of it.
 
Hello, longtime message board lurker here. After dropping many unsubtle hints, including leaving Saltwater Aquariums for Dummies around the house for several weeks, I finally got the wife's green light to pursue the (modestly small) reef tank of my dreams.

No purchases yet. Considering the Hello Reef since it just went on sale, Red Sea desktop cube or peninsula, or similar AIO setup. That's about the footprint and budget I have to work with. It will be on a sturdy countertop with a cabinet below I plan for an ATO reservoir and storage.

My goals are to take it slow, and I want to keep it clean and pristine to the best of my ability.
Welcome to the forums, and the hobby!
