    Hey everyone my name is Danny and I am new to this hobby.
    I have been reading a lot about it and always wanted one since
    I was little. Finally I had decided to do go for it!

    I am currently doing research still on the system and will start buying parts soon :)

    It is going to be a 20G reef tank with 10g sump/fuge.

    I hope I do not fail! ::)

    Hey Danny! Welcome to 3Reef! If I were to go back in time, one of the things that I would have told myself is to get a BIG tank. I can promise you that you will want a bigger tank later on. I suggest getting a bigger tank first or for your next tank (more variety of fishes and better in general). Also, it'll be easier on the fishes too. 100+ gallons is usually good. :) Just suggesting.

    Welcome aboard danny....Good Luck with everything and please ask a ton of questions on here before you do anything. You really want o make sure you get things right and dont have to do something twice or three times because that can get costly.

    We're here to help!
