New to saltwater

Welcome to the family. Looks like you're getting some good advice already. My only advice would be to research, research research. Then ask lots of questions. If you take your time, you're bound for success.
 
Welcome to R2R!!! Your tank looks nice, the 2 best things to be successful in this hobby is patience & research. Everybody on here are willing to help with any issues that you might have, good luck
 
Be patient, don’t rush it. This is a marathon not a sprint. Also, don’t forget your billfold cause unfortunately this isn’t a low cost hobby.


Yeah I was prepared to spend money it’s been pricey already lol but I’m in love with my tank !
 
Nice setup, I love me a sand bed! When I started I just let the sand fly everywhere and settle naturally, looked a lot nicer and more natural than the flat perfectly raked bed I started with.

Welcome to the forums! Everyone here is really nice and the mods do a great job.

Thanks! Lol yeah that’s pretty much what I did just kinda spread it with my hand a bit I’m going for a really natural look like a perfect imperfection of that makes any sense
 
Welcome to R2R!

I guess it’s doing well lol I added a damsel as a sacrificial fish and it’s been in there about a week now and seems to be enjoying its new home
