Hi!
I’m newish to the saltwater community and very new to the reef aquarium hobby. I’ve kept freshwater aquariums for about 30 ish years and decided to dive headfirst into a mixed reef aquarium. I’ve converted mt 240 gallon freshwater aquarium into a (hopefully) mixed reef aquarium. I will have approximately 200lbs of live rock and 200lbs of live sand in it. I started the process at the beginning of the year and am about to get the real live rock and live sand tomorrow! I have a few fish (2 clowns, 2 pajama cardinals, 1 rabbitfish, 1 lawnmower blenny) in a 40 breeder waiting for the cycle to complete. I do have a few corals, but I’m not at all confidant in them. They are in the 40 breeder as well, but as this is my first jump into corals, it’ll be a journey to keep them alive. Anyway, looking forward to having a blast, and staying alive while I spend money and explain why i need the latest gadget!

Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you are well on your way!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state.

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Thanks! I've gone ahead and done just that. Seems like a good way to keep everything documented and get some good advice when I inevitably start to run off the rails.
