Hi guys, I’m new to reefing and I’m very excited to get started. I’ve been watching lots of videos and talking to many experienced reefers to get all the knowledge I can. One thing I’ve learned fast, is that everyone has their own way, which can be a little frustrating when being new to the Hobby. I also wished I talked to everyone before diving in head first. I’ve had my tank for exactly 1 week and I already want a bigger tank bc of all the fish I want and can’t have bc of the size of my tank. 1st rookie mistake, not going bigger the first time around... oh well, this 60 gal will become either my sick tank or my holding tank... Lol.
Welcome, Welcome and super glad to have more female power. Lol. Not many of us females in the hobby. So glad you joined and these are among the best of the best in the business.

Welcome. If ya have any questions we will try to answer them to the best of our abilities or experience. Rule of thumb for reef keeping, nothing happens fast. Have patience and do research beforehand. As it seem you are!! This is a great and fun hobby but can also make you wanna quit lol. Stick it out and enjoy. And if you think you should have went with a bigger tank, I started w a ten gallon hahaha. Within 2 weeks went ahead and shot up to a 75
