Hello everyone! As the subject states, I am new to the hobby and this site. This has been something that I've always wanted to do. I've had many successful freshwater tanks in the past. I did try my hand at a saltwater tank almost 20 years ago but failed quite miserably due to a severe lack of knowledge and patience (funds too!). I welcome advice. I just purchased a RedSea MaxE-170 and am very excited to get it up and running. Anyone else in the NoVA area?
