New and excited to get into reefing.

After several years of having freshwater aquariums I decided I want to try saltwater. First FOWLR then gradually moving to coral and invertebrates. Trying to absorb as much as I can on R2R and other forums. Looking forward to learning as much as possible before taking the plunge.

I too started with freshwater tank. I recently upgraded to a Waterbox peninsula 130 DT and now in the final stages of cycling using the BRS 4-month cycle. My nerves are on end to make sure parameters are correct to add coral. Fish are doing very well.

Great to have you here. Look forward to progress reports on your reef.

I also started with FW. Had that tank running for about 15 years before taking the salt plunge! Welcome! ;Joyful

I’m thinking in the 50 to 75 gallon range with a sump. My experience and research says bigger is better in general.

Welcome to the forum. Your life will never be the same, after coming over to the salt side. Reef keeping is so much more challenging with new and fun things happening all the time.

75 is a wonderful tank!

75 is a wonderful tank!

Looked at trying to go cheap and not sure I would save much money and time by piecing something together. Looking at some Red Sea options.

Welcome & congrats on beginning a new adventure! I venture to guess that most of us started out fresh before discovering the seas.
