Slow is the way to go, not only determine what set up you want, but alot of people including me jump into the hobby thinking it cant be much different from freshwater.. fortunately i went the rout of a FOWLR tank at first. and my being impatient was not that much of a factor. i am only now afetr 4 years of running a FOWLR tank am slowly introducing coral to my tank. so do as you plan take it slow. do alot of research on your lighting. i would suggest get most if not all your info from here on R2R and not listen to big corps advertising their product as being the best. Most if not all of the Reefers here have been through the wind tunnel on what product will work and what will not. (did that make sense?) what i mean to say R2R has alot of people who has droped alot of money on products only to learn that it is not worth it. Try to find some one with a established reef with a 60g tank and they will be able to help direct you toward a Light with proper PAR, Unlike Frshwater water flow is important in a reef tank. im always second guessing my Water Flow. and this may be obvious to you but when you think you are ready to add coral.. dont go out and buy a bunch and QT then stick them in your tank.. buy a test coral.. Dip, QT, then maybe Dip again. add to your Vase and give it awhile to see how it does. I hope like im not talking in a way like you are clueless. im just sharing some of the great INFO that i got prior to starting my reef.. So good luck

Thanks for sharing - and nah no worries - I am always up for constructive feedback. So I started watching the Bulk Reef Supply Channel - and that's how I came across this site. So I see there are so many different approaches. I am excited to get started on this, and I know I'll get different feedback. The tank I'm picking up from a guy in a couple hours - upgraded his saltwater tank from a 60 to a 75 gallon and offered me 75.00 for this tank. Almost new he had it for less than a year. He currently has 2 saltwater tanks a 120 and 75 so I figured it should be good since its coming from a guy who has done saltwater for 16 years. And the tank is less than a year old. So figured I'd start at a reasonable size and not jump too big but not go too small either. And with the price I couldn't object. Appreciate the welcome and feedback! Ya'll have a great day!

Welcome!!

FREE ADVICE: The most expensive part of this hobby is impatience!!

Figure out what you want. Get the best you can afford, save for it if you must, and only buy it once.
