Wanted to say hello and introduce myself. About 10 years ago I helped set up and maintain a 90 gallon FOWLR tank with my father. This was my first saltwater tank and there were many ups and downs. I made many mistakes but I still really enjoyed the tank and the experience. Fast forward, I am now ready to start up my own tank. I have purchased a 40 gallon breeder and I plan on making it a mixed reef tank with a few fish and inverts. I am in no hurry to get the tank up and running as I plan to do as much research and reading as I can before I actually get started with the tank. I will however be building a tank stand in the next couple weeks. I figured this was as good a time as any to create a username and hopefully begin contributing to this wonderful website. Just wanted to say thanks in advance as I have already learned a lot by searching and reading past posts.
 
Welcome home, you will love it here!

Post pics of your tank!
 
My favorite thing about this forum over the others? When I try and do something with a shortcut I get called out quick and reminded that there are no shortcuts. Do it right! I'd have 90 gallons of water on my floor if I didn't research...
 
Welcome to R2R! It's great to have you!

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 3 15.8%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 5 26.3%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 1 5.3%
  • I haven’t really considered this before
