Starting a saltwater tank

[kien]

My tip would be to start a tank journal/ build thread and document your progress from the start. Also, remember to have fun! Try not to get too bogged down by all the details. For example, if you want 3" of sand, go for it. If you want no sand at all, go for it! There is no right or wrong answer. If you want 2 pounds of rock per gallon go for it! If you want 1/4 pound of rock per gallon, go for it! If you want to run a skimmer, go for it! If you don't want to run a skimmer, go for it! Again, there is no right or wrong answer. What you will discover on your journey are the answers that suit you.
