Just wanted to say hello

[Frankowen2]

I've had my very first saltwater aquarium for a few months now and things seem to be going swimmingly (bud ump tss). I've had freshwater tanks my whole life, some on a very grand scale, but quickly learned this is a whole new animal. I've been fortunate so far to hit very few bumps in the road and hope to stay on a similar path. As I learn, I hope to be able to contribute more to this forum. In the meantime, I'll be stalking your posts learning what I can from those more experienced. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and I'll see you around.

welcome to RC! what size is your tank? inhabitants? corals?

patience is a virtue in this hobby, probably more so than any other. glad to see your bumps in the road have been few.
