total noob

Welcome!

This is the place to be for new reefers. But, we all at one time were total newbies as well.

Take it slow, and take your time and you will do just fine!

just a simple beginner here popped into say hi, I like to read a lot before asking questions and I have just started my journey into salt water tanks so i have a lot of research to do first so don't expect a pic of my tank for a while yet and if i do ask a silly question I promise i have tried to find the answer my self first he he he

Welcome! Glad you joined. No such thing as a silly question. I've found everyone here to be very supportive.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I wish I had started during research phase like you are now. Instead, I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
