Incredibly new to the hobby (my first saltwater tank has been ordered and is on its way to me currently!) and have been soaking up all the YouTube, Reddit and everything else I can find ready for setting up my tank!

Any and all advice to a complete newbie is welcome, I have been keeping freshwater for years but I’m very aware that saltwater is a whole other beast!
 
Welcome to your new home for saltwater reef aquarium resources and fun! Welcome to the family! :D
