    What's up everyone? I'm new to the saltwater hobby and I'm just getting started. I've been reading a lot of good things on this forum. I've noticed everyone has there own way of doing things and there's really a lot of information to take in. I just started a 56 gallon reef tank. Working little by little to get it up and going. Still working on getting some more live rock. I have about 35 lbs so far. Along with about 60 lbs of live sand I got from a LFS. I have a wet dry filter going for now, I'm about to start building a refugium out of a 20 long. I've got 3 blue green chromis, one lawnmower blenny, and a few snails and hermits for my clean up crew. Just bought a small torch coral and another that I forgot the name of.. A work in progress. I'm sure I'll be here asking lots of questions in order to get started on the right track to keeping my tank healthy! Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
