fairly new to reef keeping

sean87 · 01-21-2008, 01:33 PM

Hi all, my name's Sean and I am fairly new to reef keeping. I had a salt water tank a few years ago and wanted to turn my fish only tank into a reef tank. However, once i started getting into it and about to purchase various corals we moved into a new house and I got rid of the salt water tank but kept my other freshwater ones and never got back into it. Now several years later I bought a new 55 gallon tank and want to turn it into a reef tank but I am having trouble with the RO/DI unit, i.e. I don't know how this thing works and don't fully grasp the concept of it so I joined this site in hopes to find out a few answers about this or any other problems I may encounter in the future.

Welcome to RS. You have definitely come to the right place.

Where abouts in NJ do you live? You may also want to check out The New Jersey Reefers Club - Home. You may have some local folks that can help you too.

I am about 30-45 minutes south of you in Waretown.

We have lots of members in the Jackson/Howell area.
