Thank you very much. Any suggestions?

Read, read and read some more, watch you tube videos and ask lots of questions, lots of very helpful people here and go slow!

Hi!

Thank you very much. Read your story. Glad you are trying again. I'm somewhat intimidated, but won't be getting a tank for a few months so I want to learn as much as I can.

I agree. I like the Merit Island area.
I am trying g to learn all I can before getting a tank. Went to an aquarium store today and looked at a Red Sea Reefer 90 gal I believe.
My goal is to have a reef tank. I am completely new at this an a bit intimidated, but excited.
Any suggestions on complete tank set up manufacturers?

Thank you very much for the welcome and ORCA link. I like the beautiful cabinet you built for your tank.

Well.....
First off, not to scare you off but reefing is like an addiction... It is a very expensive hobby that will consume every second of your spare time.. It is very rewarding and can be very frustrating at times. So, depending on your budget I would go slow. There are sooo many different opinions on every topic, so find someone that has a tank like the one you want and pick their brain and listen to them.. If their tank looks amazing, they have likely spent a fortune getting there so they have figured it out..
I like the Red Sea setups but again, everything is debatable in this endeavor!
Good luck and have fun!

Welcome. There's some primo stores in your area. Lived in St Pete for years. Miss having access to great livestock locally...

Thank you for the compliment. Reach out when you have a question. Do you have an idea of a tank size yet.

Thank you for the welcoming message. Are you from Orlando as well?

Have you decided the size of tank you want? Glass or acrylic? I recommend glass. Good luck
