How hard can it be?

Welcome

Hello all. New to saltwater. Have had freshwater tanks for about 20 years but was always scared of how hard I had heard a saltwater tank was. Decided to make the plunge and try it out. Started with a 5gallon Evo tank on the end table in the living room and have been bit by the bug....ordered a bigger tank.... Am loving the experience so far.

Welcome! Glad you joined & Congrats on being bitten so hard 2nd tank in your future!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). They'll be your posts so entirely up to you, but maybe even do two threads - one for current tank and one for bigger tank on order.

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
