Hi everybody,

been reading on here for a while now so i thought its time to register. Excellent forum, answered a lot of my questions.
I set up my first reef tank about 2 month ago after 10 years of wanting one but getting scared by the cost. I've had freshwater tanks before but this is the first time saltwater, bit of a learning curve.
Here is a picture of my tank so far

Welcome to R2R

Welcome! Glad you joined. GORGEOUS!!!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. Like you, I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium

Thanks for the advice, working on the build thread already, I'll have a look at the link when I get home. I read Paul B's book, very informative too and so easy to read.

@Paul B book is SO FUNNY! I got it as a gift to myself and LOVE IT! The part about buying jumping fish, being so careful, then just toss directly on floor to get it over with just makes me ROFL every single time I read it - keep book in our main "library" (aka bathroom with tiny bookshelf)

Welcome from Adelaide. I've just taken a dive into marine as well after a long wait like you.

 

[PeterEde]

It's a 350 lt dt or around 470 including sump. The goal is to have a mixed reef where all inhabitants are happy, hence I am staying away from the bigger fish. The coral beauty is probably my biggest. The best thing so far is the live rock with all the different creatures that still keep popping up like brittle star, rock boring urchin, crabs, pistol shrimp, to name a few.
Love the tank and the tranquility.
Looking forward to a Lot of happy days to come.

Ditto
Every day after work I am glued to the tank looking for that extra critter.
