Hello everyone, I a completely new to this hobby. My wife and I have been successful at maintaining a goldfish aquarium and love doing it. I am totally in love with salt water tanks and the beautiful colors that come with it. I personally want a mini reef as well. We stumbled upon a great deal on craigslist 250 dollars for a 55 gal. tank, stand, filter, blue hippo, 3 clown fish, and some live rock. I need serious guidance in what to do with this tank or should I avoid it as a complete newb. Just look for some solid first steps in the right direction so I can achieve a thriving healthy tank for my family and me to enjoy. I just want to do things right and will be patient enough to do the necessary steps to achieve my goals and be a successful hobbiest. I know this is an expensive endevor and will take the necessary time to build the proper aquarium I have dreamed about.
