    This is the start of my 20g FOWLR.
    This is my first ever saltwater aquarium. I began this tank Sept 9th. I plan on making this into a full reef hopefully in the future, but I'm just learning the ropes with keeping an aquarium for now. I'd like to say that I've learned 99% of the stuff I know about aquariums are because of you 3reefer's and I'm still learnin' Thanks guys!!

    If you hope to keep corals and fish alive you'll need to get into a routine of bi/weekly water changes. Smaller tanks are alittle harder to keep as param swings are greater because of evap and nutrient import. Also it will need daily top offs since only H2O evaps raising your salinity. Good start.;)
