Hello , ive missed my tank so badly ive decided i need to look at getting another! I used to keep seahorses and then went on to puffers and then frogfish then things kept dying and i spent sooo much money i ended up throwing out my tank :0 ive forgotten eveything i knew and now wanting to get a new tank set up as cheap as poss but don't know where to start?

Welcome! I would start by checking Craigslist or a local reef club for a decent used tank. Also depending on size you can wait until petco does their $1 per gallon sale and set up a nice 40 breeder. Best of luck!

Welcome to R2R!

Like what @kschweer said, that is the best way to start up.

^^^^ second all above^^^
Can't see where you are located but there must be local marine/reef club close by.
What were your plans this time?

Welcome to r2r, yes like kschweer suggested is deffinitly a good idea at starting off, you could also jump on the marketplace thread here as alot if people offer quality equipment for relatively cheap. Any questions-give it a go,a whole lot of people here to help

Welcome to R2R.. You will need to decide on what your going to keep. Sea horses, Corals, fish only, inverts or a mixed reef? They will all require slightly different set ups for best results.. Having a plan and going slow will give you the best results.
