Welcome to R2R!

As valuable information goes, this is the best forum I've seen. Not a lot of trolling and a lot of supportive, knowledgeable and active members.

Concentrate on the stickies in the various categories to get familiar with common concepts and issues and you'll avoid many of the pitfalls encountered by newbies that haven't found R2R yet

Hi all - just dropping in to introduce.

Always had freshwater growing up. Maintained at least 3 or 4 tanks in my bedroom. Got fun with the piranhas and oscars.

That kind of faded out with growing up through moving to college, and then life. So my pets turned mostly to dogs.

Kids wanted a fish so we started up a decent little freshwater.

But now I (and maybe they do) want salt water.

This will be my first (username was mostly from enjoying open water dives) tank. Love forums like this (have helped me rebuild cars, upgrade cars, and other things.). Looking forward to meeting you all.

Welcome! Glad you joined. This is a great family hobby.

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. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

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

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium

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...
