Welcome to R2R!
Been in reefing since April 2020, wish I knew how addictive it would be. I feel like a addict every weekend wanting to get a new coral like it’s a fix!

Welcome! In the hobby for 16 years now. I'd tell my young self to slow down, and to quarantine everything

Welcome to R2R and the salty world. Lots of knowledgable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.
I now know to learn about a fish or coral before buying. Easy to buy on impulse and many LFS will encourage you so they get an easy sale. Ask about something and they will often point to a potion on the shelf that will cure it. Much better to ask on R2R. There are experts here and you can evaluate a range of answers (often one answer will be agreed by many, making decisions easier). I must add though that there are some excellent LFS who give great advice and know their stuff.

Welcome to R2R! Definitely would tell myself to invest in good lights to start! I bought a $70 no brand light that just had blue LEDS and then upgraded to Red Sea ReefLED 50s. Worth the investment. Happy Reefing!

Welcome to R2R and the wonderful folks, information and help.
Patience, it is the big word around here, Reefing is patience to cycle, to watch things grow, to keep your tank balanced.
I recommend to everyone joining to create a tank build thread.
1. You get to see where you have started and how much you have grown in this hobby.
2. We love pictures and to see what your doing with your tank.
3. It’s a great learning tool for all of us to see what works and doesn’t . We learn great stuff from each other.
Lastly the only bad question here is the one not asked...
