New to saltwater aquarium

Welcome to the other side! Fw to Sw switches happen fast. I have had over 30 fw tanks in 3 years and all I can think about is my reef these days.

Hello, glad to be a part of all of this.
I rescued a couple of clown fish from my nephew in Chicago. I cleaned the tank packed it up and brought it with me on the plane, as a checked baggage, the two clown fish, a hermit crab, actually had there own seat on the plane back to Oregon. My husband set up a small tank for when I got home we could get them into something. I got the bigger tank up and going, instead of making my own salt water, we went to a guy, right here in Hillsboro, and he has salt water you can buy, so that made it so much easier. We also bought two skunk tail shrimp to help clean up. So far so good. We are using all Fluval equipment, my only issue is the programmable light, I'm not sure what settings I should have them on
