Going from Planted to Reef... I am here..

[DOJOLOACH]

Hey guys. Just a friendly hello. I've been in the hobby for around 10 years, all freshwater. Now that I am out of college and have a job I am going to try and start a 40 breeder reef or go with a AIO kit. I figured it would be a good beginner setup/idea to get a setup to go with beginner corals like softies and sps (I think sps are the easier between sps and lps, correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyways, I plan to mine the search function for info I need and eventually give back to the site once I learn some information through experience!

Welcome to here, Dojoloach! (Back in the day, before they were gold, we used to call those "weather loaches"...)

It's a pretty good place, and a veritable goldmine - but sometimes it takes a bit of sifting to find the best nuggets. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum, check out the sticky at the top of the page look for the big red arrow. It should have some useful info for you in one place.

LOL. There are no "mistakes" just really fast learning experiences :)

Just remember this is the key to success.

Nothing good happens fast in saltwater.

If this hobby teaches one things it's definitely patience.

Good luck and welcome! I was you 5 months ago!
