I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm very new to salt water and currently researching my first tank. I've had fresh water tanks most of my life but was always skittish about salt water tanks because of the difficulty. A co-worker has a tank and after understanding the process better I'm hooked before I've even started.

I live in the St. Louis area and have spent my first day hitting all of the salt water stores I could find and my wife and I have both agreed that a reef tank with more coral than fish will probably be our starter. We love the idea of a completely living ecosystem versus just live fish like our fresh water tanks.

I want to say thanks in advance because I'm going to have a lot of questions.

Thanks,

Hectilles
