Welcome to R2R! Information overload is definitely a thing -- it helps to remember that while there are a few things that are must do -- keep the water at the right temperature and salinity, keep the nitrates low -- much of what is discussed on the forums as options. It is kind of like a weird pizza -- certain things are required for it to qualify as pizza, but there are many fiercely debated toppings and cooking techniques that can get you to a tasty meal, or in this case, a beautiful tank.

Hi everyone! I am very new to the saltwater aquarium hobby. My wife and I have only been at this for 4 months! Had freshwater tanks in the past, but always wanted a marine reef tank. There is so many things to learn and read, and am feeling overwhelmed. Come to think of it, this is actually the first forum I have ever joined as well.

The good thing about being green is that you have no bad habits to break. Remember it is a marathon and not a race. The rest will come. Welcome to the fishy family!!
 
Welcome! If you explain some of the issues im sure some people can point you in the right direction. Theres plenty of threads here that have been used to solve or work around nearly everything.

Algae?
Sick fish?
Lighting?
Flow?

It can probably be figured out.
