New to the saltwater hobby

[absaltproject]

Hello! New to the saltwater hobby and SO excited! I have kept freshwater tanks on and off for 10 years and have always dreamed of getting into the saltwater world. My husband has become interested as well so we are diving into our first saltwater aquarium. We’ve gone ahead with something simple to start and got the fluval 32.5flex saltwater kit. We spent over a week thinking arranging and putting together the rocks and now we are about 5 weeks into cycling and finally seeing our ammonia trend down. We are picking up a couple clowns tomorrow to put into our quarantine tank and hope things time out between the main display being ready when quarantine is over. We look forward to everyone’s tips and tricks learning as we go.

I see you’ve made all kinds of upgrades including a sump - did you do that from the get go or as you went? was the initial set up ok?
For now we hope to stay with the simple system as we are looking to move next year and wanted to keep it simple and upgrade once we find a forever home we are happy with.

Added as I went. The regular filtration provided is a good start. But I wanted and needed more. The only thing original on that is the tank itself.
