Welcome!

This is the place to be for new reefers. But, we all at one time were total newbies as well.

Take it slow, and take your time and you will do just fine!

Hi all.
I’ve kept tropical, freshwater fish my whole life. I have always wanted to dive into saltwater fish keeping but always was talked out of it...too hard, too time consuming, too expensive...well, after watching a NOVA program last spring about efforts to save the coral reefs, something triggered me to just give it a shot! I’ve been studying up and researching for the better part of a year now and have decided I will pull the trigger in late spring to have a new tank up by early summer. There’s just SO MUCH INFORMATION out there that sometimes I just get paralyzed with fear that I’ll mess up. I have a few more months and then it will be time to apply everything I’ve learned. I’m exited and nervous at the same time.

Thanks in advanced for all your advice,
John

Hi John and Welcome. Glad you joined! You sound like me a year and a half ago, but I found a used system from someone leaving hobby and it moved up my timeline (and caused me to go bigger than planned).

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)

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

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium
