I have been in the aquarium hobby for 2 years i think, while it has been mostly a freshwater journey, i am now planning on building my first ever reef aquarium, that's why i joined the forums, while for the moment i don't have a saltwater tank, i am planing to do one soon, so i will gladly accept recomendations, tips and other things to help me get started in this amazing side of the Aquarium hobby.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here to research before starting! That’s what I’m doing too. I started with the 52 Weeks of Reefing video series from BRS on YouTube.

I was the same . When your able to stand up after the sticker shock , and If you tell us what size of tank ect there is lots of help. Especially how to not spend money needlessly . Unless you are wealthy then go Nuts!. Anyway when you get ready to cycle if you want I have a " fishless " cycling article to share if you want. Lots of differant viewpoints on this subject But Mines the best. This place is a quagmire and you pick your opinions as you go don't forget # reef squad . A collection of experienced people ( I am not in the inner circle ). If I were to start over I might go a bunch of small tanks all over the house. You have to be single or have a blind partner for that

I am going the small tank side, i don't have too much free space in my house and there are already 2 aquariums, so i am planning to do a 16 lt tank with backsump filtration for keeping zoas xenia and some nice mushrooms and maybe GSP if i manage to fit an extra island isolated from the main rock structure so it doesn't outgrow the other corals. also i think 16 liters or 4 gallons is too small for fish, so maybe i will just keep some hermit crabs in there, as this is my first time i will for sure let the tank cycle a good bit, maybe 3-4 months or when i see that there are no big parameters swings and there is no ammonia, to be honest, i never test parameters in my freshwater tanks, so i am also new to that topic.
