New to the site and a salt water newbie! Purchased a 75 gallon tank and would be very interested in any suggestions or tips on getting it started! Also looking for a used lighting fixture, 4 bulb T-5 with built in timer.

Welcome to the forum, Skittle. I'm in the same boat as you. Have you done freshwater before?

Read as much as you can. Start here (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/index.php). At the bottom is says Reference Library. Read everything. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Is Rollyview in Alberta?

Biggest and best advice I can give is to be patient. Take your time and you'll be greatly rewarded with the hobby.

Hey Skittle. Welcome to Canreef.

Haven't been in Rollyview for many years. Last time I was there I ended up coming home with a puppy. :redface:

Welcome to Canreef, skittles.
Lots of water parameter testing, too, and not just guessing things are OK.
Unlike freshwater, Marine organisms have lots more to deal with.
You doing just fish only??
