Hi all! I’m from Iowa, have been obsessed with aquariums and small worlds alike since I was younger. Currently have a 37G freshwater, and a 10G freshwater. Every time I go to the LFS or an aquarium, I find myself glued to the saltwater tanks. I love the unique and colorful fish and corals.

I have always been told that saltwater is so difficult, but I have been hearing lately that it can be just as easy, if not easier than fresh.

Decided I would start researching and learning about Saltwater tanks, as much as I can to decided if this is a spectator sport or if I want to jump into the game.

Not thinking of doing anything too large if I get into it, at most I would want to do is around 40G, but would be interested in something smaller too. Brand new to the hobby so really just looking to learn anything and everything I can. Any tips or suggestions for a newcomer? If you were able to tell everyone just one thing about saltwater tanks, what’s the 1 thing you would tell them?
