Hi all, just thought I'd say Hi..
New to this forum, have had tropical setups in the past but thought I'd start a bigger and better challenge, Marine.. My tank is currently going through the cycle, I reckon another week and I can start adding coral and fish.. Excited!! What do you guys think so far?

Welcome to R2R! Great place to be! Be careful about adding any corals or fish for a while, let your system mature so you'll be successful and not stressful.

Looks lovely! Welcome to the addiction!! ;) one quick thing, if you plan an doing an anemone think about getting your heater (if that is a heater along the back) out of the DT or protect it somehow. I have read a couple threads on here about burned nems!

Hi Thank you for the advice. I'm not sure about anemome just yet anyway, my local ps reckons my tank is too small for nems apparently.. But I've seen a lot of smaller tanks with it in so not sure what to believe lol.

Hi welcome! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful here so feel free to ask as much as you want. I wouldn't say that anything (including anemones) can't fit in any size tank, but what you must think about is stability and what is a logical choice. For example, if you do not have the abilities or requirements for keeping a bubble tip anemone, don't get one. If you feel like your tank meets the needs of the anemone and you can properly care for it then go for it.
