Hello all :)

After 4 years of enjoying 3 freshwater aquariums (180L(Shrimp, Buce), 125L(Shell Dweller) and 350L(Cory + SA Puffers)).

I decided a year ago that I wanted to make the leap into saltwater and started to read up on this amazing hobby. Luckily for me, my SO didn't mind a 4th tank in the room!

I've decided to go for a 100x55x55(cm) aquarium (300L/92G) with a 140L(36G) sump that is split in two for refugium, system compartment and a 35L ATO reservoir next to it.

Which is now standing waiting for water and aquascaping behind me.

My biggest challenge is that I have to automate the aquarium as much as I can because of health reasons. (My freshwater tanks run fully automated and cost me about 60 min a month to maintain)

For now I've decided to go with a Filter roller(SK3000), Macro algae refugium with a contra-light schedule, Tunze 3155 ATO and two reef flare leds (70W each) and go for a low fish bioload with easy corals like Zoa's and LPS in half/full year or so. (Nothing good happens fast in a reef tank is something that fits my physical limitations very well!)

So thank you guys for all the awesome information that is written down on r2r and hopefully I can make this a little awesome reef tank!
Congrats on your new adventure! Welcome to the fishy family!!

Welcome to R2R and the salty side of the hobby! Looking forward to hearing more about your build -- both the aquascape and the automation.
