I all, my name Is Craig Lalonde and I live In Louisiana. I am new to the hobby and been looking here for great Info on starting a salt water aquarium. I haven't started one yet, been doing lots of research and gathering info to help me succeed the first time. I just joined the forum and glad to find out so much information from all you guys. I am glad I joind so I can gather more info before I start. I'm thinking of starting with a 20 gal. to start then upgrade to a 75 gal. after I mastered what I need to do. Any and all help and info would be greatly apprecieated.

Thank you very much
Craig Lalonde

*Welcome to Reef2Reef,Craig!* I would recommend jumping right in with the 75 gallon if possible.The larger volume of water will be easier to maintain than a smaller tank.
