I've had fresh water for decades and failed miserably with salt water once a long time ago, before the current abundance of knowledge that appears to have made reef keeping doable now. I'm diving in, have a Waterbox 130.4 ordered. I understand they are backlogged, so I'll read and learn more in the meantime while I wait patiently. I'm psyched.

Welcome
Welcome to the best reefing community online IMHO. 
And if you get a cheap 10 gal tank and start your quarantine/mediation process now, by the time the tank is cycled, you can start adding fish without the wait! Hehehe. Glad to have you with us LenG.

BTW - while you're waiting for your tank - maybe it would be an idea to share what happened to your last tank - so you can avoid whatever problem you had. I'm sure you will get lots of opinions
(PS - I hate the word share - I shoudl have said tell us)
It won't be a problem to keep from repeating my mistakes. I was doomed to failure. I think the success back then was mostly non-existent. My salt tank was operating almost 40 yrs ago. 55 long, undergravel filter, dead corals for decor, no cycling, tap water, only monitored salinity, temp, maybe pH (can't remember). I had an anemone, a starfish that died in short fashion, but the real downer was buying a large Naso Tang for $50 (a lot of money back then) that never ate and died in about 1 month. I appreciate all the welcome messages and encouragement.
