Welcome to Reef2Reef!
Welcome to Reef2Reef!
My goal, when I convert from FOWLR to a reef tank is to have primarily softies and LPS. I look forward to seeing what you do with saltwater tanks in general, we all love a build thread. (Plus you'll get a cool badge on under your profile picture too!)
Hey everyone!
I'm Sean! I just recently setup my first saltwater tank after keeping freshwater tanks for the last 20 or so years since I was a kid, and getting into more challenging high tech planted tanks as I've advanced in the hobby. With the risk of sounding arrogant, I feel as tho I have mastered freshwater tanks as I quickly get bored with a new setup and often take it down to try something different after 3-6 months of a tank being running.
Here are a few of my previous freshwater tanks I have setup over the years
After researching how to make the transition to saltwater for the last 3 months or so, I finally completed setting up my first saltwater tank. I switched my 55 gallon tank to saltwater, I would have obviously preferred a tank that is deeper, but due to space limitations, I couldn't have a tank be more than 12" deep, so 55 it was.
Here is a video of my newly setup 55 gallon. This was a couple days after I set it up, let things clear up, but no fish yet.
I will be doing FOWLR for the first couple months as I get into a routine of keeping a saltwater tank, then I will slowly add soft corals. It seems like soft coral tanks has this stigma in the hobby as "inferior" tanks, but I actually like their less demanding needs and I really like corals the sway back and forth in the flow. I like movement and I'm really looking forward to getting corals in this tank!
Happy to be here, thanks everyone!
Welcome to R2R!

Welcome to R2R and the salty world Sean. Your FW tanks look great. The aquascape in the SW tank looks great. Nothing wrong with softies in the tank. There are some good choices.
Lots of knowledgable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.

Welcome. Great to have you here. Looks like you are up to the challenge !!
Welcome Sean. You will be happy to know SW is easier. I switched 5 years ago.
Love the planted tanks! Welcome!
