Hi all! I’m from Iowa, have been obsessed with aquariums and small worlds alike since I was younger. Currently have a 37G freshwater, and a 10G freshwater. Every time I go to the LFS or an aquarium, I find myself glued to the saltwater tanks. I love the unique and colorful fish and corals.

I have always been told that saltwater is so difficult, but I have been hearing lately that it can be just as easy, if not easier than fresh.

Decided I would start researching and learning about Saltwater tanks, as much as I can to decided if this is a spectator sport or if I want to jump into the game.

Not thinking of doing anything too large if I get into it, at most I would want to do is around 40G, but would be interested in something smaller too. Brand new to the hobby so really just looking to learn anything and everything I can. Any tips or suggestions for a newcomer? If you were able to tell everyone just one thing about saltwater tanks, what’s the 1 thing you would tell them?

Welcome to the reef. I think we all started with freshwater tanks so you are right in line to transition to salt. It is a very challenging hobb6 but also very rewarding. Lots of knowledgeable people here to help you on your journey.
 
Welcome, glad you are here! Watch BRS 52 weeks of reefing on YouTube and get this book written by a member on here.
