Hello. I'm new to the forums and am in the early planning stages of putting together my first reef tank. I started my freshwater journey right before COVID when my kids came home from the state fair with a couple of gold fish they "won". I bought a little 5 gallon tank with a few fake plants and put it in my office. I found that I really enjoyed watching them swim around and taking care of them. That evolved into upgrading to a 10 gallon tank and discovering the fun of adding and maintaining a few live plants and a couple of guppies. The plants grew like crazy and a couple of guppies turned into a couple of dozen guppies, so I upgraded, again, to a 29 gallon tank for a little bit more room. It was the perfect work-from-home, lockdown hobby for us.
Fast forward to now, I'm looking to start a new adventure in the form of a reef tank. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos and reading a lot of information. I'm over the intimidation hump and have enough confidence built up to get started. I still have plenty of newbie questions and am always open to opinions and advice. I'm looking forward to to taking this amazing hobby to the next stage.
