So Im finally starting my first saltwater tank. I've had multiple fresh water tanks throughout the years, got really into high tech setups recently, heavily planted, co2 the whole nine yards. Now I'm moving on the next step in the progression - Reef Keeping...

I've been doing loads of research for the past few years and have been slowly getting all my equipment in order, found some good deals along the way.
