Hi everybody, I've been trying to take in as much as possible from this forum as I got a 240litre tank for Christmas and decided to go for a reef set up.
As I knew nothing about marine tanks, the information I read from everybody here has been a great help as it is quite scary starting out and it's good to see such a friendly place.
I put the live rock into the tank yesterday and even that was exciting as it was amazing just to look at. I am looking forward to the next stage and further down the line, the fish.
Thanks for all the information.

Welcome to the sanctuary!

I know what you mean about it being a little scary to start with! There is so much to learn and figure out and so much money involved! However in the end, no matter how fustrated you may get, it's worth it!

I can't wait to hear more about the tank and if you can get some photos that would be great :)

The best advice has already been given, Research and ask questions....
Sometimes people feel self concious about asking questions. They're worried about sounding silly or dumb. Keep in mind none of us was born w/ this knowledge, we had to ask questions too. And when we sounded dumb, everybody laughed and laughed at us...til we cried, and had to have our mommies come pick us up. And then we swore we'd never EVER get teased ....uh...sorry....
Seriously, dont hesitate to ask. Its much cheaper to learn from another's mistake...
