Hello, everyone! I have dreamed of having a reef tank for years. I have had freshwater tanks of all sorts in the past. Years ago, a friend and myself bred discus and angelfish, so I have somewhat of an understanding of water quality and temperature.
I have finally decided to get my first salt tank. My original plan was to take a 30 gallon freshwater tank, gut it, and convert it to salt. However, after some discussion with a friend who works at an aquarium store, I decided to get a Fluval Sea Flex 32.5 AIO.
I have not started setting things up yet. My plan is to start slow. I live at least 30 minutes from the nearest ‘pet’ store, and an hour from the ‘fish’ store I would plan on getting most supplies from. My first step is getting a four stage RODI system installed.
Im happy to have found this great resource!!
