(Sorry if I can't post something like this here)

I'd like to thank all the people here at R2R who spent a bit of their time to help me with my noob questions :)

I've been keeping freshwater tanks for over 20 years (with long breaks) and now that I decided to take the plunge and start with saltwater, I felt overwhelmed. Things are a lot more complex/complicated (or maybe it's because I'm new and I know freshwater lol) and this forum has been amazing!
I found it by luck. I think I was googling something and BAM...I got to a thread where someone was asking the very same question and I thought "I want to register here too!". So glad I did.

Sometimes it's hard for me to express my doubts as I'm not a native English speaker, but you guys do a great job.

So: thank you for all your help and being people who are respectful towards others who do rookies mistakes. You find some harsh people on other forums...unfortunately.

I hope I learn and learn so I can pay it forward someday :)

And yeah, I'm sure I'll have way more questions down the line ;Shy

Hey! Lets see the tank =)
There's "nothing" happening there yet. Entering now week 3 and, as the parameters seem to be ok, I will add snails/shrimp this week.
Might change the rocks too. I'll see :)
I don't want to disturb it for now.

Anyway, just a Red Sea max nano. Nothing wow :)

Nice looking tank. Go slow no need to rush.;)

Yes, I'm taking my time. I'm no longer the 12 year old kid who wanted all the fish in the world for his brand new freshwater tank ;)

(And thanks.. it's just a nano... it's all I can have for now. Pales in comparison to the amazing tanks you find online lol)
