Hi Chrissy and welcome to r2rHi everyone! Thought I’d finally introduce myself after lurking on these forums for a year. My name is Chrissy and I’m from the Pittsburgh area. I’ve been in the fish-keeping hobby for 6ish years now, but up until this point I’ve only had small freshwater tanks. For the past year or two, I’ve been planning my first saltwater tank. It’s going to be a 4ft, 150 gallon seahorse and fish mixed reef tank. A bit ambitious for a newbie, I know, but I like a challenge. Plus, I feel about as prepared as I can be with all the research I’ve been doing.
Excited to finally start setting it up so I can share it with all of you! I’m sure I’ll be posting a ton of questions, so I appreciate any help I can get! Also, curious how many of you are from around this area

Thanks! I definitely will. I’m midway through the BRStv 52 Weeks of Reefing series, and I feel like I have more questions than answers now
(mainly about lighting)

There will always be more questions but to take your time and tackle one obstacle at a time .
If you’re confused feel free to ask questions in appropriate thread places .

Did you drip acclimate them? Shrimp can be finicky, although ghost shrimp are normally pretty hardy. I’d go with amano shrimp, personally. They’re a similar size, maybe even bigger, and they’re great cleaners.
Welcome to R2R and the salty world Chrissy. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.

Yes! So much useful information here. And I couldn’t agree more about the bigger volume 4ft tanks. I don’t have a lot of room, so they’re perfect. Do you have pictures of your tank? I’d love to see it.Welcome. I'd tell you how great everyone is here but you probably already know that. I've got a 4ft 120g that I'm doing a mixed reef in. Love the bigger 4ft aquariums
