    Hello all,
    I am just starting up my first reef tank, a 36 gallon with a 15 gallon sump. I had NO idea what I was getting into but it's been a great ride so far. My other job is in healthcare.

    Glad to find the forum!

    For those of you joining us that are new to the hobby - the best piece of advice you'll get around here as a saltwater newbie is 3Reef's slogan
    "Go slow, let it grow."
    And for those experianced hobbyists joining us - it's still good advice :p
    good luck and post pics soon :)



    read these and then come back and ask about anything you still don't understand. we'll get you squared away and on the right path :)
