Hi all. Joined R2R in April as I started my research into the world of SW. I have been a Discus keeper for several years, with a 6ftL - 120 g and DIY sump/plumbing. So, I have some experience, however the more research I do on SW the more scared I get! This is big investment with the equipment I will need. I want to get the good and needed stuff right off the bat, so as not to waste $$$. Been there, done that! I have a 75g 48"L tank that I am thinking for a mixed reef. I have been watching lots of youtube vids, like BRS 's 52 weeks (awesome) and reading lots on R2R. I have even compared costs between US and Canadian on-line supplies, as LFS just don't have the equipment I will need. I am super envious of the availability of corals you folk in the USA have compared to up here. We need more! Cheers, stoked and scared!

I remember when I converted my fresh water tank over to salt.... I know what you are feeling, but trust me, You are going to love it. It just takes things to a new level.
This is a great site to ask questions.
Good luck and go for it !
