Hi! I'm Chris. I am new to around here and completely new to the hobby. I haven't made any purchases yet, but wanted to learn everything I can before getting started. I have been keeping reptiles and tarantulas for about a decade now and want a change. Still going to keep reptiles too.

I am thinking of starting out with FOWLR and maybe progressing to a reef tank. I am planning on a 55g with a 20g sump. I know I don't want bare bottom just cause the look doesn't appeal to me. Other than that I haven't made it anywhere with planning just yet. Any and all suggestions and comments are more than welcome. :)
 
Welcome Chris! My two cents would be to consider a 40B or 75 gallon tank. The issue with a 55 is that it's only 12 inches wide and limits the rock-work.
