Hiya All
Carri10, based in France. Really want to set up a reef, but not sure when to take the plunge. This is a great forum, with great info and loads of interesting discussions.
I've asked a question on the general forum about setting up.
Thanks all!

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...

Welcome! There no time like the present, I'd recommend you get started! It's going to take a fair bit of time and patience to get to the real fun stuff (stocking & arranging), so let it begin cycling

Thanks for joining the forum. You’ll know when it’s the right time, but just understand that some of the new well designed ATO smaller tanks are really easy to maintain and fun to work with. Best of luck and hope to see more of your decision making process.

Welcome to Reef2Reef! This is definitely the right place to start. One piece of advice it sounds like you're already following: take it slow! Don't rush things in the reefing world. I don't want to see you start just to get frustrated and quit. There's way too many leaving the hobby right now.
