Finding a easy start up guide for marine reef aquriums is hard to come by. When I first started I did not have a clue about reef aquariums. Thankfully there were sites like reefcentral that I could ask a ton of questions, but one thing was still missing, a beginner guide. So I decided to take a few hours tonight and write up a step by step guide for setting up a marine reef aquarium.
Keep in mind this is very basic and should be used as an outline when setting up a tank. The reasearch involed in many diffrent aspects of the marine aquaria such as lighting, flow and water chemisistry are generally based on one’s setup and tank, as there are no two tanks a like. So the beginner guide is just to show the beginner where to start and how to go about doing it. You can find this article on the right hand side of this page under the tab “pages”.
