Hi! Interested in starting a reef tank with a mandarin or blenny. I know....well established tank with TONS of copepods. I am still researching every thing and haven't even bought the tank yet. I'm in Northern Va and just got into the hobby recently.

Hi and welcome to R2R and to the hobby!

Take your time researching and putting together a system that will be able to provide the proper environment for the fish and coral you like. Try and read through others experiences with the fish you are looking at, it will help you make the right decisions when building your system.

Welcome to R2R

The first thing I would suggest is buying a 40 breeder or 75 gallon tank to start with because of the width of the tank. What type of tank are you looking to start reef or fish only?

Something to check out
