Hello, new to hobby, I have learned that I could just hire someone to build my reef aquarium but not the way I want to go.
I am sure I will have my failures but figure I will learn a lot from doing it myself and others experiences. First up is finding the aquarium new or used ? Liking the pernicular best, for viewing from 3 sides, thinging 150 to 180 gal, display.

Welcome, the bigger the better to start! The bigger the tank the less fluctuation in parmeters you will have. There is a sticky post about starting an aquarium but I can't find it now- hopefully someone sees this and send the link.
