Hello all the lovely peeps of R2R!

My name is Rich and I'm new to the R2R community. I had heard of this community being one of the more active and friendly forum groups so I joined 2 weeks ago and was a bit quiet until recent.

I have been installing and servicing RODI and RO systems for a few years now and about a month ago a client offered to give me their reef set up when they move out of the country. I've been reading all the beginner and entry level articles and just want to say..

THANK YOU R2R COMMUNITY FOR BEING SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FRIENDLY!!!

I am SUPER excited to get my tank up and running. Right now it's just a matter of learning how to properly set up and maintain a tank and gather all the right equipment.

Thanks R2R and everyone for all your amazing insight :)

This thread by @revhtree is a great starting point on how to start a reef tank :)

Welcome to R2R!

If you're new to SW, I would suggest reading #15 in this article first: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-01/eb/

I have found myself referencing this article more than any other, not just to anyone new to the hobby. The nitrogen cycle is only the startup of a SW tank cycle. The next 6-12 months is a maturing phase, and it's typically in this time frame where algae outbreaks occur and things can sort of roller-coaster, and if you stock the tank up too quickly, you might see corals randomly dying & fish getting sick, etc...people who are relatively new to the SW hobby (or never bothered to study this aspect of it too much) can very easily fall into the trap of chasing problems = making more problems => giving up and selling everything off. We don't want that to happen to anyone!

Long-term stability and balance are the keys, and you just can't shortcut the process significantly. That's always the #1 thing to keep in mind!
