Welcome to the family. Sounds like you got your answer. The only thing I would add is to determine what you want. Size of tank, FOWLR or reef, sump or AIO and plan according to your desires and not just what you can afford. This hobby can be pricey, but it's important that you invest wisely the first time.

I wish I could get a massive tank but I think I will be getting something a bit more modest (at least at first) that will fit well into my limited living space. I'm thinking about starting slow and eventually working my way towards a reef with some softies and LPS and maybe when I'm up to it some nice SPS. I really like euphyllia and some leathers. I also think corals like trachyphyllia and lobophyllia are really cool. However, when it comes to coral purchases I plan to do my research before buying something just because it looks like a piece of living art that I want. I would hate to blindly spend money on these creatures just to end up killing them because I didn't do my research.

Bigger isn't necessarily better. There's such a wide range of options. Just set your sites on something you think you will be comfortable with and go for it. You have nothing but time to make changes in the future.

Welcome to R2R, glad to have you. Like said before you dont need a ton of equipment to start, it will take a while for the tank to start to mature. Just go slow and add when you can!

Waterbox has a nice financing option on their site which helped me get a decent tank without hurting my bank account up front. I ordered the 60.2 +plus setup. I am excited.

If I need help I am holding all of you responsible for being so welcoming and passionate about the hobby. I expect answers to all of my questions!! ;Troll

And so, my journey begins...
