Being a newbie to sw and reefs is overwhelming. I have been reading the forums as much as possible and trying not to ask to many questions. I find my mind going in circles and bouncing from one topic to another with out having accomplishing anything but bringing home one of my 55gal aquariums.I never had these lost mind feeling when I started cichlids in my school age days. This is just so much more complex and the wrong decision could be rather costly. I don't know if there is already a "SW for Newbies" list in this forum or not, as I have not come across it, but I am going to start making a list of what I need to buy and do and try and put it in logical order to get my tank started. Maybe as a group effort we could make up such a beginners list that would be helpful to other new members in the future and possibly Marc could setup a NEWBIE section??? I know there are so many options and it is not possible to cover it all, however, my guess is that if you can get started with the correct basics that could be built upon it would be beneficial to anyone getting started.
I really appreciate the help that I have received from the members of this group and we are very fortunate that Marc has developed this site and shares his vast knowledge and experience.
Happy reefing to all as I get to work on my list and try and get something to show on here!
