Hey R2R community, I am new to the hobby, but not completely uneducated. (Still definitely have an immense amount to learn, but does that ever really stop?

) I am the type of person that will research something until I turn into a madwoman. I also love the amount of science in this hobby and that we ALL are still trying and learning in this hobby. I LOVE THAT! I have not set up a tank yet because I want to have a basic blueprint of how I want things to go so I don’t make “emotional” mistakes due to lack of patience and education.

Anywho, I’m excited about this adventure and can’t wait to learn from all of you!

Welcome to the club. How big a tank are you thinking? Make sure it can house the fish you would like.

Welcome, try not to go too mad in the research or you may never add fish/coral. There’s much to learn and much to worry about. Sadly this hobby, at least in my experience, is not a perfect science. You’ll have to take calculated risks at some point. Best of luck and again, welcome!
