Saltwater Reef Beginner

[Kurtis]

Hey Reef2Reef Family,

My name is Kurits and I'm new to saltwater aquariums. I am planning on starting one myself and doing a lot of research before I start. I never knew it would be so complex to start a saltwater aquarium at all, but I am completely excited to do so. Please feel free to reach out if you have tips on where to buy supplies, tanks, and fish. Right now I'm looking at Petco and online, but I know there must be so amazing online sites out there.

Also, please let me know if you have any beginner tips I should be aware of. This is important to me; as I complete my research period I will take notes and complete a trial and error process to see what's best for me and I would love to hear all your thoughts.

I look forward to hearing from you and starting this new hobby and I can't wait!

Regards,
Kurtis

Welcome.... It sounds that you have already started a tank the right way by coming to a great forum and doing your homework.

My first advice is to start your own build thread so that we may hear your ideas and offer our help.
