Welcome to our little piece of the reef. This hobby is fun, and yes sometimes frustrating. You need to have ALOT of patience and not rush ANYTHING. The rewards are great thou.
It will teach you patience, that's for sure. You couldn't have found a better place to start your potential journey. I hope you find keeping a reef aquarium as enjoyable as I have.
Hello and a very warm welcome! I did the same as you, spent ages reading through loads of posts and viewing lots of tanks on here and eventually bit the bullet and got my own tank. My tank's been running for just over a year and a half now and I love it!
Once you get a tank 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!
