I've always had freshwater tanks and being I live in Florida decided to do a 120 saltwater and want to build as much as possible myself here for ideas and info. Thanks

Welcome to R2R! It's great to have you here!
Hi Don
Well plenty to read on the forum.
I guess depends on what you want to do.
For example you could do a local eco system based on marine fish and inverts native to the Florida coastline.
There are options on species only, reef,fowlr, predatory to vegetarian. Fish and animals can be paired with symbiotic partners ranging from cnidarians to plain ole shrimp that's just the tip of the iceberg.
So lots to consider and get your creative juices flowing.
Read up take inspiration and have fun.

Reefing is all about the adventure
Welcome to R2R from Central Florida. If you can run the natural saltwater from up there in your system
, you will not have to purchase salt and possibly not have to dose either.

Any input on best place to buy supplies and rock,sand etc... There are so many
As for sand and rock well you can go the natural and live route. In order to gain biodiversity. Usually though end up getting something you don't want. It's funny but when you start up you think you will be fine. By the third setup your doing everything you can to stop pests getting into your tank.
