Newbie in the UK - Hello All

Luce.and.Fur · Nov 19, 2020

Hi all,
I'm new to keeping fish and decided to jump straight into saltwater (despite what everyone I know kept cautioning me!); looking forward to getting to know you and ask for some help!
I recently set up and cycled a second hand 60L tank and added two lovely little clownfish to it. A week later I lost them to what I believe was ich (they are my current avatar pic). Pretty devastated right now but looking to completely restart my tank from scratch and hopefully next time I'll catch something like this quick enough to make a difference.

Welcome to the Reef. I was in a similar boat to you. Never had any fish, except a betta in a bowl and jumped right into saltwater. I've really enjoyed it and glad to took the plunge.

Welcome. Read up on how to setup up a new tank, fowler, reef etc. Ask questions and go slow. We all have setbacks once and a while, stand up, walk on...welcome...

Many thanks for your comment - I am about to set up a QT so doing lots of research at the moment!
