Recommendations for a wantabe reefer

[luiscarr]

Hello everyone,
I am in the process of doing my research for starting up a reef tank. I have always had freshwater fish and currently have a Red Sea 36 gal fully planted discus tank and I do weekly RO/DI water changes.
Any recommendations for me at this time would be greatly appreciated. Looking to move in about 2 years and will build DT at that time

My recommendation is to pick up a few good books on the Subject and Read up. Then use the Forums and compare ideas. Also you will want to establish a good source of disposable income along the way. That will make life easier

Thanks sonyardo. I have read the 3 books by Sprung and Delbeek(?sp) and have read lots on line and will continue to do so. Any books that you can recommend?

It Sounds like you are on the right track I like the Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Fenner, as a good starter read. It seems like it helped me to decipher the information on the forums better.

Ok. Thanks. Will look into it.

In the newbie section of the forum there is a sticky with a big red arrow.

Start there.
