Hello

[DrunkenMonkey666]

Hello. I’ve been keeping fresh water tanks for a little over 4 years now. I have 1 heavily planted 75g and 1 lightly planted 10g. I just got the ok from the wife that I can get another tank lol. So for my next project I will like a saltwater tank with corals and fish and I have no idea where to start. I like to do research before I do anything to make my life easier so that’s why I decided to join this site. My first question is going to be... what is everyone’s thoughts on the fluval marine flex 32g?

Welcome to R2R. The bigger the better. Lol get the biggest tank you can fit in your house.

Welcome to R2R!!! I think that would be a great first tank. I do agree that the bigger you can go the better as bigger tanks are more forgiving. Here are some go reads to help you start your journey.

Welcome to Reef2Reef. A fine tank, but as others have pointed out, the larger volume makes having a first tank slightly easier.

Thanks for that info. I already ready the first one earlier today.. I’ll read the cycling one in a little bit.

I know bigger is better lol. But since this is my third fish tank, space is limited until I move out in a few years. I saw that tank and thought it would be good since it’s an all in one. But from a lot that I’ve read and have heard, a sump is needed for a saltwater tank. That’s why I’m questioning getting it

A sump is not needed for a saltwater aquarium. Look at @Katrina71 tanks.

Welcome to R2R!!! You're going to love the salt life... and hate it at times... and then love it again... and REALLY hate it at times. But love it at the end of the day.

Biocube 32 is a nice tank! No sump. Lots of upgrades available too!

Welcome, you don't have to have a sump but can add to your water volume and gives some more options
