Hi,

I'm brand new to reefing and excited to get going. I have done freshwater for a long time (have 8 active freshwater tanks), but have never had a reef tank until yesterday!

I converted a 15 gallon Fluval Flex. Currently cycling- I put the Fritz whatchamacallit bacteria solution in there along with Seachem premixed water I bought at the LFS. I figured I'd wait to make my own RODI water and mix the salt until I get other things settled. I want to cut the opportunity for me to screw stuff up back some while I get going.

Looking forward to discussions with everyone!
