Hello

I’m Eric new to Reef2Reef and just getting into the saltwater/reef hobby. I don’t have a big tank yet, but I’m really interested in learning the basics, seeing people’s builds, and understanding what equipment, corals, and fish work best for beginners.
Looking forward to learning from all of you and eventually starting my own setup!

Hello Eric. Welcome to the forum!

My advice to you is to decide which fish you would like to keep, and then design your system around those fish.

Too often, people go out and get a "good deal" on their system before they decide on what they want to keep in it. This usually results in posts asking if a certain fish can fit in the tank, followed by a tank upgrade. 😉
