Default Howdy all!
I've really been enjoying all the great information here. This is a great site for the newbie such as myself. I don't have a reef tank setup yet, I'm in the process of building mine on the cheap (thanx craigslist!). I've done freshwater tanks for years, and have finally decided to move onto a reef tank. So far the only saltwater equipment that I have is a protein skimmer (Aqua C Remora), my next move is to buy a lighting system. I'm sure to be peppering you with lots of questions soon, so thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to 3reef. Dont think the word "cheap" and "saltwater" go together very well...

Glad you are researching and planning before you add water, there are a lot that dont and end up with problems.

Well I'm trying to decide if I want to convert a 29 gallon tank that I have as freshwater into my reef tank or if I want to use it as a refugium for a larger 55 or 60 gallon tank. I know that more water volume is generally better, but it seems like a lot of folks are having success with nano reef tanks these days.
