New Member-Hello everyone!

Hello everyone,

Currently I don't have a saltwater tank, but hopefully in the next 30 days I do. Right now I'm sitting on two convict cichlid tanks (29g and 75g). I'm ready for a new challenge and I think I've met my match haha! For the last two weeks I have been researching reef tanks. I have been watching youtube videos, reading articles, books, etc. but I honestly think this website has it all. I really enjoy reading everyone's posts either good or bad, your different experiences, recommendations, pictures/videos, etc. This hobby is no joke compared to freshwater. The two main pieces of information I've read so far is 1) do your research on everything and 2) don't go the cheap way out. So right now I'm saving my pennies and doing my research. Thanks again R2R for a great website with great people!
