SaltyFresh · Oct 2, 2021

Greetings from Connecticut!
I am a Freshwater tanker who is beginning the set up of my first Salt Water tank ever (eeek!) this forum site has come up in many of my researching and I have found many discussing to be insightful and have joined in hopes this will be a great resource on my saltwater journey.
I have a ways to go but here is day 1!
Have a great weekend everyone!
