Hello from the PNW

[NotApplicable]

Hi! I’m new to this forum and this hobby. I’m starting my first reef aquarium (and first aquarium ever) in the coming weeks. I’ve already read a lot of content on here during my research phase, but I decided to go ahead and join!

I’m located in the PNW.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

What size tank are you planning? Any specific fish or coral you are looking forward too?

My inaugural tank will be a 100L Red Sea (details here)

In terms of stocking, I’m definitely going to take it slow since it’s a new tank and my first tanks. First priority is getting the chemistry and bacteria makeup right. First added life will be a cleanup crew, and first fish will likely be an ocellaris. Fish-wise, im thinking 2 ocellaris, 1 firefish goby, and 1 tail spot blenny (again, stocked very slowly)— haven’t thought much beyond there. Coral I haven’t started planning specific additions yet but need to start thinking about it soon!

Thanks! I’m pretty pumped but definitely more concerned about health of the tank and any members than filling it up or getting a bunch of fish and coral too fast!

Welcome to r2r and to the wonderful world of reefing .
If you had extra money before it will
Be handy when you start coral
Shopping .

all jokes aside . It’s a wonderful hobby . But take your time . Nothing good happens fast
Reefing can be rewarding if you take your time .
if you have any questions feel free to make a post .
While you’re just starting , now is the perfect time to consider starting a build thread .
It’s a great way to document and track progress along the way .
