What equipment do I need to prepare for my first corals?

I’ve got 2 big tanks in my living room, one of which is very big, so I agree with you completely

I get the most from all the programs and series I watch, because I have to watch them at least 4 times as I can’t remember what’s happened, because I’m actually staring at the tanks Oh and then I fall asleep anyway because of the need for the ‘sturdy chair’! Lol

Most nights the TV just goes off and I watch ’the ocean’…

Hey @Bmr4Reef hope your getting this is very addictive, oh and relaxing, and yes sorry we digress…..!

I sit in a chair and stare at my tank for about an hour a day. My invertebrates are much more entertaining than my fish.

As most said testing kits and all that but with a beginner softy tank it will most likely be pretty easy to be successful. Just water changes (very likely you wont need to dose) to replenish. Quality lighting, and water movement (powerheads/gyres).
Personal tip about testing, while its nice and of course comes in handy, don't overreact to some results. I did when I started and caused more issues than helping and I only did these changes because people kept telling me to test and change and being newer, I listened.
