Hey everyone - researching reef tanks

[Gry]

Hey everyone.
I've had freshwater aquariums for many years (25+), and have always wanted to also try a small reef tank. So, Im sadly not in the process of building, I'm more in the process of dreaming and researching what it would take to make the dream come true, cost-wise and hardware-wise.

Does anyone know if theres a specific forum I can post a research thread in and post all the questions I inevitably run into? Or would I need to post in different forums for the topic I have questions about?

Welcome to R2R!!!. You can post questions in the Aquarium Discussion forum, or you can post individual questions in specific forums to get a even better response. You will get a better response if you post individual questions in the specific forums though.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! As @Billldg mentioned, you may find that you get better responses by grouping your questions into threads in the related areas. We're glad you're here!

Welcome to Reef2Reef you are in the right spot! Posting on this site without a doubt can most likely land you with some info or answers to what you seek, just recently talked about how great of a site this is as a tool in my recent upload!

Yes! Ive been lurking for months just reading through as much as I could, trying to understand everything from build types to saltwater chemistry to coral care and upkeep requirements. I've not been scared away yet, and am slowly squirreling away savings earmarked project Reef Startup.

Welcome to the community!

As others have mentioned, to get the best answers you'll have better luck posting to specific forums. Another powerful tool is the search, I found myself using it a whole lot when I first joined! You can search for whatever you want, even down to specific poster or date.

Hi! I'm also new to the keeping of saltwater tanks but roughly 12 years of research in XD we just set up our first tank 20gH with a 10g quarantine for about $250, plus stock. In the process of planning for our 200 gallon set up when we purchase a house with a $1,500 tank budget (got the tank, stand, fuge/sump, and canopy for $700, skimmer for $50, and weeping over the cost of lights.) Tanks can be made well on any budget, all about what you want to keep! Pre-owned is a valuable asset.
