Hey y'all! I'm absolutely new to aquariums in general but my husband (a native islander) has a lot of experience with koi and freshwater fish setups. We are getting ready to start our first saltwater tank .We've watched hundreds of videos literally on virtually every aspect and really can't wait to get it going! I know patience is key but we've been planning for several months and I'm ready to start cycling our tank.

Welcome to R2R and thanks for saying hello

As a beginner there are a couple threads I would strongly recommend reading over. Lots of great information in there

Hey! Another local girl

the people are very nice here. You guys should be cycled by the time the Smoky Mtn Coral Expo is here. You should go! Lots of great deals. (Sept. 29 in Pigeon Forge)
