Good morning
I’m new to this site and I’m thinking about doing a reef tank. I have no clue where to start. I did purchase a 155 gallon tank that was used for salt water previously. I only have the filter setup for the main tank plus one tank that sits under the cabinet. I also spend a lot of time away from home so still tossing up if it’s worth the time and money to even setup a tank at home. Thanks Duane.

Welcome to R2R! If you spend a lot of time away you will probably need some automation but it is certainly doable. Worth it? Only you can answer that. For me, yes it is worth it.

Hello everybody. Thanks for the warm welcome. What or where should I start first? Should I get some sand? Practice making some salt water and cycling in the tank? Is there an article with a hat to do first? Thanks again so much.
