I've always loved aquariums and had been wanting to start one for awhile. I kept going to this awesome LFS and couldnt resist any longer. So back in December I finally started it. Found an awesome used tank and with the help of my (thankfully very patient) LFS, have my first saltwater tank that I'm in love with. Definitely already know a lot of things I should've done differently and am continuing to learn. I've found several answers and helpful suggestions here and am hoping to learn everything I need for an eventual larger tank. Would love to be able to help out a new reefer one day!

Congrats on starting your tank! Do you have pictures of your tank?
