Hi all,

I'm Jeff.
I had a 30 long back in the '90's with rock and some corals.
I'm getting back to it with a 24- gallon Lifeguard AOI. A few damsels and soft corals, trying to ease back in.

I will say that I'm encouraged by the online support that's available compared to 20 years ago; good to be here.

Hi Jeff and Welcome!

Back in the 90s there were books. These days there are online articles - this is a good one like a reference book if you haven't yet found it:

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...

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself.
