Hello, and welcome to the channel.

 

[Fish Think Pink]

Good afternoon everyone,
I’m new to the saltwater hobby. I have been keeping freshwater tanks for about 5 years now and I’m just getting into saltwater. I thought being into cars was expensive but dang is this another expensive hobby too haha but very much so worth it.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Yes, but there are ways to do saltwater aquarium on budget. Hang in there and keep at it!

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)
