First Time Reef Builder

[myteebird]

Hello Everyone!

I am looking to start my first ever saltwater tank after having freshwater tanks for quite a while! If anyone has any tips or tricks to starting out I would greatly appreciate it! I am very advanced in freshwater so I am open to any saltwater suggestions as I am an "OCD Fish Owner" and read water parameters almost daily in all my tanks and would love to create environments for unique species!

Welcome to R2R, the best way to start is just by going through all the threads. Search for cycling tips, set up tips and ask LOTS of questions. There is no stupid questions in this hobby.

Every one here is amazing and super smart, asking questions and doing a lot of research will save you a ton of time and money!

Hello and Welcome to R2R! I can't remember the last time I checked my water parameters. I do change 20% every 2 weeks.
