Welcome To NJRC! Take a minute to introduce yourself

I'm brand new to the hobby. I've had freshwater tanks, but I've always wanted to get into saltwater. I'm just starting my research and gaining an understanding of what I need to get started. I'm looking forward to learning from this group and getting involved. I'm located near Mt. Laurel/Cherry Hill in South Jersey.

Mpovell, welcome to the club.
Just post any questions you have. You may get different answers as what works for one may not work for another. How big of a system do you plan on setting up?

Thanks so much for the warm welcome and comment. I am thinking of going with something around a 125 gallon for stability and starting as a FOWLR for simplicity sake. Thoughts?

I started out with fish only and then someone gave me free coral and here I am.
 
Hello. My name is Jen and I've lived in central Jersey all my life. I was in the freshwater side of the hobby for 15 years but have slowed down to just 1 58g RR Oceanic retirement tank with 10yr old super red pleco trio, 1 13 yr old kuhli loach (been alone his whole life as all his buddies didn't make it through QT :( ) and several 10 year old amano shrimps. But I've decided to take the plunge into SW! I finally have the finances and time (and experience) to do it. I will be moving the old timers to another tank and using the 58g for my new mixed reef. Been doing a lot of research and have almost all the gear I need to get going. I will probably do a tank journal if that is a thing here. I look forward to getting to know everyone and basking in your wisdom!
