Thought I would start here in the Meet & Greet Forum... I am a complete NEWBIE when it comes to Saltwater. I have 8 FW tanks at the moment with almost 100 aquatic inhabitants.
I have wanted to do a reef tank for years, and I finally decided it was time to buckle down and do it. I have visited a few forums, but this one appears to be pretty active, so I decided to give it a try.
I got into aquariums when my kids bought me a 5 gallon desktop tank. I almost gave up as I got some BAD advice from my LFS, and I killed more fish than I care to admit. But I ultimately found a good forum and got some good advice and became successful and once that happened, I was hooked.
So, as I said, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to SW, so I intend to ask a lot of questions, and hopefully someday I'll be able to answer a few.
Thus far, I have purchased a refractometer, some salt, an RODI system, and some dry rock. I have a few tanks sitting around, but haven't decided for sure which one I will use, or if I will buy another one. I have read that getting dry rock ready for a reef tank can take a month or two, so I am not super concerned with that decision yet as I've got some time! One thing I have already learned in this hobby is that patience is golden.
