Hi my name is Eleanor, I am in Australia have experience in freshwater and recently have been interested in saltwater. I want to start really slow and have been researching like crazy! Currently trying to acquire some stuff second hand, people locally are selling whole setups but I'm trying to be cautious. All I want to start is some live rock, two clownfish and an anemone at some point. I can't figure out a way to have my own RODI unit as I rent, I have a lfs that I trust who will sell me salt water and RO water for a fair price. I wanted to start a 150 litre and drill it and add a 120litre sump. But I'm currently negotiating with a guy for a 4ft that comes with live rock, a tank and cabinet, good quality lighting a sump, two protein skimmers and new tests kits foods etc. for only $450 as he's moving house and needs stuff gone asap. I have enjoyed reading posts here so far and already learnt a lot :)

Welcome Eleanor...I'm just starting out as well and soaking up lots of great information from all the knowledgeable bods on R2R.

I've drilled my tank and building sump now...and trying to find local suppliers for all the stuff everyone is talking about here...I'm in Melbourne so sometimes a bit hard to find local equivalents.

Good luck.
