Welcome to Reef2Reef!

You should start a Tank Thread so we can keep track of your build and watch it grow and change. You would also get a cool Tank Thread badge under your name!

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!

My tip to you:

Decide which fish you want to keep, and then design your system around those fish.

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

Hahaha, yeah I go a bit overboard checking my parameters! I'm happy to be here!
