Lol, welcome to 3reef, mate!

 

thanks for your help i have alot of reach ahead of me but look forward to getting started im sure i will have alot more questions to come thanks again

 

I can give you a good chunk of advice here... Forums like this are a great place to discuss things but trust me, do alot of your own research. Google is your best friend. The reason I say this is because a great 3reefer once said(I can't remember who) that 90% of the stuff you get on forums is regurgitated info that someone heared from someone else. For example, if you ask what the best protein skimmer is you'll probably get 1,22000 different options. Not much help. 3reef is a great place to discuss topics but you'll want to do alot of googling. Don't get me wrong, I'm in love with 3reef, just do some outside research! it's alot of info with alot of places for error.

Welcome to 3reef! A 90 gallon tank is a great start. What equipment do you already have that you plan on starting with? Also, as stated above, just ask away. We love to help here.
