Hello, my name is Tiffanie Tan I am new to saltwater aquariums. I currently live in Orange County California with my husband and our 7 yr old daughter, 3 little dogs, 2 cats, freshwater fish tank w/betta fish and hopefully soon a saltwater Aquarium. I plan of attending the Reefapalooza in August. I am a researcher by nature and love to learn. I've been watching videos and reading as much as I can. I think but not 100% sure yet what size I will start out with I'm leaning towards a 40 gallon breeder tank. I would love to get a AIO but it just isn't in the budget at the moment. My thought was getting this size tank established and thriving then if I wanted to, I could save up for a larger size and upgrade. I would like to have clownfish (and by compatible fish) and soft beginner corals. I just can't decide whether it would be better to wait and get tank and some of gear at the reefapalooza event or go ahead now and get tank, sand and rock going. Im leaning towards real reef rock or something similar or dry rock. Still researching this. I won't be doing a sump to start out with. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this far. This so exciting to be getting into this hobby and my daughter is so excited.

Im excited for you! WELCOME
