So I want to start my own salt water reef tank. That will definitely be way down the road since I’m still a rookie. Can you guys link some articles, books, advice & etc. About saltwater tanks, corals, saltwater fish, dos and don’t, best tanks. Everything and anything you think I should learn about before getting into this. I want to know everything before starting my own tank because it’s expensive and I don’t want to regret it. I’m all ears, thanks in advanced!

Welcome to the community. We are in the same boat, been here since August reading in the forums, planning, asking questions, etc. Lots of info here, second the suggestion of watching BRS videos. All kinds equipment, test kits, setup, corals, etc.

Welcome to R2R and the salty world. I also think BRS videos are good as well as others online. Also WIReefers link. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed. Take things slowly.
