Thank you! I’ll look into it as well

Check at Walmart.com before you buy. You can even buy one with Steve's LED in them and they do tank/stand packages.

Welcome to R2R! You’re stepping into a whole new world with saltwater! Fluval tanks are a good all in one I started with a Evo 13.5. In the long run though i ended up modifying the tank with a different pump, lighting setup and a custom refugium. Looking back I wish I had looked at some of the other tank brands. I’ve broken some of them up into different price points... it’s not a comprehensive list by any means but a start. Hoping it should give you some good ideas.

Higher end: Nano Red Sea or Waterbox
Mid range: JBJ, Fiji,
Low end: Fluval, Biocube

I think you’ll find as you grow in the saltwater hobby you’ll want more control over the environment especially when it comes to flow, lighting nutrient/chemistry control. It helps to have a tank that will allow for these types of customizations.
There is a great supreme guide written by @revhtree here that is helpful with planning a new tank. This community is awesome and there is so much collective knowledge so it there is something you can’t find ask away. Looking forward to seeing where your reef journey takes you!

Hello. I’ve been keeping fresh water tanks for a little over 4 years now. I have 1 heavily planted 75g and 1 lightly planted 10g. I just got the ok from the wife that I can get another tank lol. So for my next project I will like a saltwater tank with corals and fish and I have no idea where to start. I like to do research before I do anything to make my life easier so that’s why I decided to join this site. My first question is going to be... what is everyone’s thoughts on the fluval marine flex 32g?

Welcome to R2R InebriatedPrimate! 3 tanks, you are a glutton for punishment lol. You came to the right place for learning and enjoyment. This is a pretty awesome group of smart cookies. Enjoy your stay and your project, whichever tank you decide on.
