New to Saltwater

[jwill4400]

Hello!
I’m Emma, I’m a total newbie when it comes to saltwater/reef tanks and I’m very excited! I previously had freshwater tanks for several years. However, the difference is pretty big. I have a 55 gal tank that I’ve been working on since May. Looking back now I wish I would’ve found this site before I started. There’s lots of good info here but I took the long route here I’ve been cycling my tank since June. My goal is to have a Duncan coral. I know I still have a long way to go but I’ll get there soon. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of my tank but I’ll add one later when I have the chance.
Have a good day!

Welcome! It is totally worth taking your time.

Hi Emma and Welcome ! I'm Lisa. I originally came from the freshwater side, too. Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
