    Welcome to 3reef. Do a search and you will find tons of stuff to help you out. The most important one is "go slow and let it grow"

    Welcome to 3reef!

    Ask allot of questions from the forum. You'll receive a ton of good advice. The biggest virtue in this hobby is patience (as the guru stated).

    Good luck with your tanks!

    To 3Reef!!!     ​


    Salutations! Glad to see you found way here!

    Some of best advice I have seen...



    Learn to Live With It
    ​
    Adam Blundell M.S. ​

    "...As surprising as it may seem your tank will look ugly at first. This happens to all new marine aquariums as they cycle through their initial filtration phase. Your tank may go brown, and then green, and then red, and then just look junky. It happens. Consequently the one coral you really want to keep may not live. You may struggle to raise the prize fish you originally intended to acquire. It's okay; just learn to love whatever is working for you. Remember, not only is this a hobby, but we are keeping living ecosystems. Special efforts should be put forth to enjoy and appreciate what we are keeping, whatever it may be. It takes time and patience to turn a glass box full of rock into a beautiful, thriving reef tank..."    ​

    Let us know how your system is doing & post some pics.
