Hi Bethany! Welcome! I am new too but starting out much smaller - a 29 gallon. I don't have any fish or corals yet.
I like your tank. How large is it?
Hey! Welcome to you as well! Thank you, it gets a lot of extra TLC since I am stuck at home on quarantine. 29 gallons is a good size to start with. My tank is a little under 150 gallons running for about 3 years. Do you know what kinds of organisms you are going to start with?
 
Well, right now I am thinking of one or two ocellaris clowns, one or more peaceful type blue damsels and a royal gramma. Have not figured out the cleaning crew. I want to start out with beginner corals like xenia, mushrooms etc.
Have not bought the rock yet because the LFS is pick up only. Have to decide on a reverse osmosis system and better 30 inch light fixture. This is fun to study everything and I love the blog. Have been amazed by the complexity and variety of the hobby. I would appreciate any thoughts/advice.
