Helping with new tank cycling

[CameronA29]

If possible I’m looking for someone to walk me through the process of setting up and cycling a tank for the first time. I’m new to this and am LOST.

Don't feel lost, lots of good people here to help guide you through. You will learn a lot fast as you go. So, what size tank? Are you planning on live sand/rock? Let's start there.

It’s a Red Sea 170, so 34 gallon tank and upgrade sump 18 gallons. And yes love sand and rock!

I have a 38g with LR/LS. I'm just ghost feeding for a bit and waiting and watching for a few weeks.

I'm sure others with more knowledge and experience will chime in soon.

Hey welcome to a great hobby! I highly recommend you watching BRS 52 weeks of reefing on YouTube. It will walk you through step by step. Any questions or clarifications can be addressed here. Best of luck!
