Brand new to reefing

[C20MSY]

Hi all,

Currently keeping tropicals and can’t wait to get into marine. I think the reefs look utterly amazing. I’ve been doing plenty of research but the question is where do I start? I’m really like the look of the Fluval Evo Sea and like the idea of it being a plug and play to get me started. Is this the best place to start of due to the size of the tank will it be more difficult to the small water volume? I also like the look of the Red Sea tanks and am thinking of the 200. Do I skip the inevitable first step and go straight for this? Will it be easier to get right due to the larger body of water?

ANY advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Tanks are like radio controlled choppers. Small ones are easier to crash but it’s only a little crash. Big ones, well you get the idea, welcome 2R2R

Start with as big as you can afford. (AIO)-all in ones do offer convenience for maintenance and servicing.

Bigger crashes make louder bangs ?
