    Hello all-

    Looking forward to learning a lot and keeping rather than killing fish.
    currently have 29g and 55g freshwater and will be starting a 125g marine tank as soon as the cabinetry is built. still trying to make sure I get it right from the start so will have lots of questions despite all my reading.
    forum looks great so far!;)

    Welcome to the world of saltwater, a 125 is going to be a great start. Are you looking to do a mixed reef or are you starting with live rock and fish?

    I will be starting with fish and a few hardy (emphasis on hardy) inverts. may move up after a while but I think that is all I am up for to get started.

    Hello and welcome! I, like you, just switched from FW to SW with my 155. I learned everything I could ever want to know from 3reef. And thanks to all, i built mine right the fist time and all is great!

    Welcome to 3reef. And welcome to the dark side of the hobby.....where money floooooowwwwwws. Out of your pocket. But it is worth it. IMO, SW is sooooo much more interesting than FW.
